MODE S/5 IFF

Abstract

Beginning in FY13 Project Number 675049, Mode S/5 IFF, transferred from Project Number 675039, B-52 Modernization. Mode S/5 IFF Mode S/5 Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) is part of the Communication Navigation Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) effort and will develop and integrate modern technology into the B-52 to enable it to operate in the evolving air traffic environment. This effort is driven by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) mandates to comply with performance standards to allow the B-52 to operate safely in controlled airspaces. This program will also yield significant savings through more efficient flight routes and altitudes. CNS/ATM Capabilities identified under CNS/ATM activities will include Frequency Management (FM) immunity, digital communications (voice and data), improved navigation accuracy such as Required Navigation Performance (RNP) or Global Positioning System (GPS) enhancements, Reduced Vertical Separation Minimum (RVSM), enhanced situational awareness such as Mode S/Mode 5 IFF, Communications Management Unit, HF Data Link, Auto Dependent Surveillance- Broadcast (ADS-B), and any follow-on activities to associated components/systems resulting from modifications to CNS/ATM systems. BA7- This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
