Product Name: Identification Friend or Foe
Manufacturer Name: CAES Honeywell
Product Description: The Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) system by CAES is a cutting-edge solution designed to enhance the positive identification of airborne, sea-going, and land-based vehicles, particularly in military environments where minimizing fratricide is crucial. The Hawk IFF exemplifies this innovation with its compact design, weighing only 7.6 ounces and achieving a size, weight, and power (SWaP) reduction of 20 times compared to traditional systems. This miniaturization caters to the growing demand for small form factor unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) while ensuring compatibility with legacy IFF systems (Modes 1, 2, 3A/C, S) and meeting the emerging requirements for Mode 5 data encryption. Additionally, the Hawk IFF supports compliance with FAA mandates for Automatic Dependent Surveillance—Broadcast (ADS–B), making it an ideal choice for both military and civilian operators seeking advanced identification capabilities in modern aviation platforms.
