Communication Systems

Abstract

Communication Systems consists of software and hardware development, firmware updates, test, and certifications necessary to field Link 16 (L16) Transmit Receive and tactical Mode 5 Identify Friend or Foe Challenge (IFFC). L16 Receive & Transmit is implemented via an Open System Architecture (OSA) solution integrated with F-22 legacy avionics to enable tactical data sharing between the F-22 and 4th generation aircraft. The OSA implementation will provide a pathway to more competitive and open F-22 modernization. Mode 5 IFF is a Joint Requirements Oversight Council-mandated Blue Force identification capability that improves Raptor survivability and reduces fratricide risk DoD-wide. This capability brings significantly enhanced combat identification quality and security.
