B-2 Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) Mode 5/S Program

Abstract

The B-2 IFF Mode 5/S replaces the current IFF transponder with a new Mode 5 and Mode S capable IFF transponder ensuring compliance with DoD/NATO Combat Identification mandates (Mode 5) and global Communications, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management (CNS/ATM) requirements (Mode S). Mode 5 provides improved combat identification security and accuracy enabling the B-2 fleet to accomplish its anti-access and global strike mission. Mode S provides improved accuracy, altitude resolution, and reduced interference from closely spaced aircraft through interrogation of assigned transponder addresses.
