HENSOLDT Services delivers comprehensive, global support for the certification of Identification Friend-or-Foe (IFF) systems, ensuring that they meet the demanding standards of the US DoD AIMS Program Office and NATO AEtP 12. Our specialisation lies in guiding IFF equipment and platforms through the certification process, ensuring full compliance with AIMS and NATO Mode 5 requirements for air, sea and land applications.
Our services ensure that your IFF systems are fully aligned with the latest defence protocols to enable reliable and secure identification of friendly forces, which is critical in joint operations. With our expertise, we help ensure that your systems are interoperable with NATO and allied forces, allowing for seamless communication and coordination across multiple platforms in the field. This interoperability strengthens defence collaboration and enhances operational security. Our commitment to precision and excellence means that your equipment not only complies with international standards but is also fully prepared to meet the complex demands of modern defence scenarios.
Full support is provided for the certification process of Mode 5 IFF transponders and interrogators, ensuring alignment with the stringent requirements of AIMS and NATO standards. For transponders, our services include full support for the installation test phase in accordance with AIMS 1102/AEtP 12.3 requirements. We assist with IFF system integration, support testing using Mode 5 ramp testers and offer integration flight test support with our mobile reference system. We additionally support you in operational tests (AIMS 1103 / AEtP 12.4) by defining precise flight patterns for performance measurements, installing mobile reference systems, recording flight data and conducting a thorough analysis and evaluation of the results.
For IFF interrogators, we offer certification support that covers both installation and operational tests. During the installation phase (AIMS 1202 / AEtP 12.8), we help implement corrective and adaptive optimisation measures, define the certification strategy and manage communication with certification agencies. We also handle all system documentation, test execution, evaluation and reporting. During operational tests (AIMS 1203 / AEtP 12.9), we define flight patterns, record flight performance and conduct detailed flight analyses and evaluations to ensure full compliance and optimal system functionality. These services provide a comprehensive pathway to achieving successful Mode 5 certification and ensure that your systems meet the highest standards of security and interoperability.
