Globally renowned sensor solutions specialist, HENSOLDT will bring its latest technology capabilities in Identification-Friend-or-Foe (IFF) into the upcoming IFF modernisation programme of the South Korean armed forces.
HENSOLDT was awarded by the renowned South Korean defence company, LIG Nex1, two contracts worth approximately €10 million, to deliver 20 MSSR 2000 ID secondary radars, including test equipment and related services.
Identification-Friend-or-Foe (IFF) systems
The Identification-Friend-or-Foe (IFF) systems will be integrated into a number of coastal surveillance and air surveillance radars, in order to improve their ability to distinguish hostile from friendly forces (identification-friend- or-foe, IFF).
IFF systems, so-called secondary surveillance radars (SSR), precisely identify aircraft by automatically sending interrogation signals, which are answered by so-called transponders on-board friendly aircraft. Thus, IFF enables field commanders to quickly distinguish friendly from hostile forces and helps avoid friendly fire incidents.
Mode 5 employs sophisticated encryption techniques
Mode 5 employs sophisticated encryption techniques to avoid hostile signal manipulation
Unlike Mode 4 used hitherto, Mode 5 employs sophisticated encryption techniques to avoid hostile signal manipulation, thus ensuring that the identification process is absolutely reliable and secure.
‘Mode 5’ is in the process of being introduced in all western armies as a pre-condition of joint operations of US/NATO and allied forces.
