BAE Systems has delivered its 150th OE-120 Identification Friend-or-Foe (IFF) antenna to the US Navy, the company announced on 25 July.
The antenna will be used by sailors to identify friendly aircraft and vessels and support shipboard air traffic management systems for both IFF and secondary surveillance radars. OE-120 is an electronically scanned IFF antenna originally designed to support Aegis Combat System.
The antenna offers instantaneous, multiple target identification against sophisticated air threats, providing enhanced situational awareness for the fleet.
BAE Systems’ IFF technology is applicable for existing, new and emerging platforms including UAS, ship and fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
Adarga’s Vantage information analysis tool is in service with the UK MoD and individual UK forces. It builds on the company’s Knowledge Platform which processes, organises and analyses open source material, as well as information held by the user’s military, security and intelligence services.
