Mode 5/S Automatic Dependent Surveillance Broadcast (ADS-B) Out

Abstract

B-1B Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) Mode 5/S is the replacement for the B-1B Mark XII IFF Mode 4. Mode 5 will provide secure target identification and will be a response system for combat identification. Mode Select (Mode S) and ADS-B Out provides timely aircraft position and flight path prediction to receiver units for aircraft, Air Traffic Control, and the Air Defense System. The IFF Mode 5 upgrade uses an automated system that responds to interrogations to avoid the loss of B-1B aircraft through fratricide. Upgrades to ADS-B Out and Mode S are required FAA mandates and the upgrade to Mode 5 is a JROC mandate. Failure to meet these mandates will result in delayed/denied service of controlled airspace within the US and Europe.
