NRL SMALL TRANSPONDER,
Abstract
A very light (under 10 pounds) IFF transponder developed for use in unmanned airframes to provide continuous tracking by existing IFF ground equipment for these target drones is reported. Considerable cost, weight, size and equipment complexity have been eliminated by a new approach combining tuned-radio-frequency and crystal video techniques. The two feasibility models described in this report have been successfully operationally tested. Test data and a proposed production specification are included in the Appendixes. (Author)
