Mode 5 Identification Friend or Foe (IFF)
Abstract
This Major thrust was formally known as F-22 Tactical Mandates (TACMAN). As part of the F-22 Capability Pipeline and through Section 804 Middle Tier Acquisition authority, Mode 5 IFF consists of software development and hardware necessary to provide tactical Mode 5 IFF Transpond and Interrogate on the F-22. Mode 5 IFF also provides an opportunity to incorporate other updates to Link 16 capabilities into the Raptor. Includes mission support requirements for the F-22 Program Office to include, but not be limited to, travel, computer costs, and other miscellaneous contract support. The F-22 Mode 5 IFF program is conducted using a rapid acquisition construct leveraging commercial best practices such as Agile and Lean. This allows the F-22 Raptor program to develop, test, and field software/hardware from multiple programs (product lines) using a scheduled cadence for capabilities as they mature.
