Hensoldt is providing IFF Mode 5 technology for South Korean coastal surveillance and air surveillance radars.
Hensoldt revealed on 18 February that it will deliver its latest IFF Mode 5 technology with radars for the Republic of Korea (ROK) Armed Forces.
The German company received two contracts from South Korean firm LIG Nex1, worth a combined €10 million ($), to deliver 20 MSSR 2000 ID monopulse secondary surveillance radars including test equipment and related services.
The IFF systems with enhanced Mode 5 encryption will be integrated into a number of coastal surveillance and air surveillance radars in South Korea, to improve their ability to distinguish hostile from friendly forces.
LIG Nex1 has also sourced IFF Mode 5 interrogators from Thales for integration with K-SAM, Biho-hybrid, TPS-830K and KP-SAM defence systems.
