Improve ID Development

Abstract

Reliable and secure navigation and positive identification (ID) systems are essential elements of battle management in the naval environment. In addition to providing platform identification for weapons employment, the Navy requires secure, jam resistant Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) systems for battle group air defense management and Air Traffic Control. The Improved ID Development project addresses the Mark XIIA Mode 5 and Mode S upgrades to the existing AN/UPX-29(V) Mark XII family of systems that is Joint and North Atlantic Treaty Organization interoperable, as well as modernization of the DDG 1000 Zumwalt Class IFF Sensor Suite . The AN/UPX-29(V) Interrogator System is comprised of the Interrogator Set AN/UPX-24(V), OE-120()/UPX Antenna Group, and Mark XII or Mark XIIA equipment such as AN/UPX-37, AN/UPX-41(C) or AN/UPX-45(C) Digital Interrogators and associated equipment. The DDG 1000 IFF Sensor Suite is comprised of three electronically scanned array (ESA) antennas, one UPX-42(C) Interrogator, and three RT-1912(C)/APX Transponders. Additionally, the Improved ID Development project may include product improvements designed to be installed through upgrade and deficiency correction studies, which in turn become engineering changes to other IFF solutions.
