Cooperative Identification Techniques
Abstract
Cooperative CID requires systems that rapidly identify friendly platforms. Utilizing a challenge and response system, platforms in the air-to-air or air-to-surface setting emit a directed electromagnetic challenge to achieve a reaction positively identifying another platform as a friendly. This program element funds growth to Mark XIIA, the next generation Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) standard for the DoD and NATO. Mark XIIA represents a substantial enhancement to the Mark XII IFF system. It is expected to achieve joint initial operational capability in 2014. The "A" denotes the addition of Mode 5 (an encrypted challenge-and-reply mode) to the other Mark XII system modes (Modes 1, 2, 3/A, C, S, and 4). The Mode 5 secure IFF program is a DoD-wide, Navy-led development and acquisition program. The development funded by this program element ensures availability of an upgrade path for implementing ground and air platforms across the Air Force fleet. This program is in Budget Activity 4 - Advanced Component Development and Prototypes because it transitions technologies from laboratory to operational use.
