Identification Friend or Foe (IFF)
Denying friendly fireAccurately identify friendly forces
In today's world, the need for advanced radar and IFF (identification friend or foe) technology has never been greater.
One of the key challenges facing modern-day military and security operations is the need to quickly and accurately identify friendly forces. In a fast changing airspace, with an evolving secured communications environment, it is crucial and mission essential to distinguish between friendly and hostile forces. This is where our advanced IFF technology comes in.
Response to latest NATO standards
Our IFF solution is designed to provide real-time and accurate identification of friendly forces in the most challenging environments.
For operations in a crowded airspace environment or in a remote, hostile location, our IFF technology primarily respond to the latest NATO standards to support full interoperability with the allied nations.
Our IFF portfolio also addressed sovereign solutions, with national IFF capability supporting adequate interoperability between national forces.
Products
Innovative solutions for a safer world
IFF for ground-based solutions
O Our advanced IFF/SSR secondary surveillance interrogators are designed to provide air situational awareness for civil air traffic control and from military ground and naval based air defence.
From very short range up to very long range, our IFF interrogators addresses a wide range of platforms type to cover the complete operational needs.
Cryptographic computers
NATO Mode 4/ Mode 5 crypto computers
The QRTKxNG family of ITAR free cryptographic computers provides simultaneous cryptographic encryption / decryption for IFF Mode 4 and Mode 5 operations.
QRTKxNG cryptographic computers can be used with a wide range of IFF host equipment, such as Interrogators, Transponders and CITs.
National Secure Mode
Our portfolio of cryptographic computers stands for sovereignty and security. They leverage national sovereign keys, support autonomy and independence in defence operations. Designed for flexibility, our crypto computers provide an independent operational concept that encompasses key generation, management and distribution. They implement custom national algorithms and offer technology transfer to enhance client autonomy and sovereignty.
