IFF-701Ti Test Set From IFR Tests IFF Transponders and Interrogators.Business Editors, High-Tech Writers WICHITA, Kan.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 6, 2000 Responding to the military's needs for greater flight safety, IFR IFR abbr. instrument flight rules Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:IFRS IFRS International Financial Reporting Standard(s) IFRS Inter Frame Relay Service IFRS Indiana Facilities Registry System ) today announced the IFF-701Ti transponder A receiver/transmitter on a communications satellite. It receives a microwave signal from earth (uplink), amplifies it and retransmits it back to earth at a different frequency (downlink). A satellite has several transponders. test set, which can test both IFF 1. (file format) IFF - Interchange File Format. 2. IFF - Identify friend or foe (radar). 3.

The IFF-701Ti is aimed at flight line and bench testing of transponders (Modes 1, 2, 3/A, 4, C and S) and interrogators (Modes 1, 2, 3/A, 4 and C). The IFF-701Ti is a new version of IFR's IFF-701 test set, which tests transponders only. The new test set is also capable of testing ETCAS ETCAS Enhanced Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (Enhanced Traffic Alert Collision Avoidance System (1) See adaptive cruise control. (2) A passenger car system that detects objects on the road that the driver may not be able to see. Using radar or infrared sensors, distant objects, such as a deer crossing the road at night or in a fog, are projected onto the ) systems, the military version of the civilian TCAS TCAS Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System TCAS Traffic Collision Avoidance System TCAS T-Carrier Administration System TCAS Terminal Control Address Space (MVS/TSO) TCAS Technical Control and Analysis System system. "ETCAS is not only for collision avoidance," said Jeff Gillum, director, avionics products, IFR. "The military uses it for formation flying and in-flight refueling, for example. These uses require greater precision and tracking capabilities which means the testing has to be much more rigorous. IFR developed the IFF-701Ti in response to that need." About the IFR-701Ti The IFR-701Ti offers a Set Up function to allow operators to set various parameters used in testing, configuration and memory storage. Ideal for Go/No Go pre-mission testing, the Auto Test runs a mode test followed by 31 individual tests, checking the operation of the transponder / interrogator and indicating failure to comply with accepted pre-programmed guidelines. The Single Test mode allows the operator to run any of the 31 tests performed in the AutoTest function as individual tests, which provides diagnostic test capability during routine maintenance or if the Auto Test indicates a failure which requires further investigation. The separate Power Test feature accurately measures Effective Radiated Power In radio telecommunications, effective radiated power (ERP) is determined by subtracting system losses and adding system gains to the actual electrical power output of a transmitter. and receiver sensitivity. IFF-701Ti Key Features: -- Interrogator Auto Test monitors interrogations, validates interrogation parameters and generates a reply (static or moving target in range and altitude) -- Allows user control of pass/fail parameters using RS-232 communications port -- Provides capability for storing IFF Mode 4 codes for use during transponder testing -- KIT/KIR-1A/C or KIV-6 cables available for testing of IFF Mode 4 operation -- Extensive built-in test -- Two hour battery operation plus power management -- Compliant with European CE requirement for safety and EMI -- NATO and US National Stock Numbers (NSN) -- Two year limited warranty Price and Availability The IFF-701Ti transponder test set is priced at U.S. $19,995. It is available in four weeks upon receipt of order.
