​IFF transponder waveform integration forms part of a contract for BAE Systems to upgrade MIDS JTRS

The DoD Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System, Identification Friend or Foe, Mark XII/Mark XIIA, Systems (AIMS) Program Office has certified the BAE Systems-made IFF transponder on the F-22 Raptor fighter aircraft.

‘This is BAE Systems' first IFF system on a fifth-generation fighter jet,’ said Donna Linke-Klein, director of BAE Systems Tactical Systems.

IFF transponder waveform integration forms part of a contract for BAE Systems to upgrade the Multifunctional Information Distribution System Joint Tactical Radio System (MIDS JTRS) terminal for the USAF.

‘This certification is an important milestone for our MIDS JTRS offering,’ Linke-Klein added in a 17 November statement.

The software-programmable IFF transponder complies with the Mode 5 Level 2 cryptographic standard and is compatible with Link 16-equipped aircraft.

The MIDS JTRS terminal with IFF transponder is in production and it is in the ground and flight testing phase aboard F-22 aircraft.
