The IFF, (Identification,Freind or Foe) is primarily a transponder system that sends out a code sequence from the aircraft to ground stations. Having worked on this equipment in the Air Force, I can assure you that the equipment, the codes, and the frequencies are all Top Secret and very sensitive to national security.

From: Ron Natalie <ron@brl-vgr> Yes, one of the instructions in abandoning the airplane is to push the button (or whatever) that destroys the IFF box. -Ron
