Abstract

See full text

A post launch identification friend or foe fire control system for a munition has an identification and ranging interrogation unit for mounting on a munition. The interrogation unit transmits an interrogation unit which detects and verifies an incoming identification code from a remote transponder unit in reply to the interrogation code. The range of the remote transponder is determined and a decision signal is provided to the fire control circuit of the munition to enable it to avoid a friendly target; a transponder unit receives the rf carrier signal containing an incoming interrogation code from an interrogation unit on board a munition, validates the incoming interrogation code, and extracts a timing signal from it. An identification code is synchronously generated with the incoming interrogation code using the timing signal. The synchronized identification code is then transmitted back to the interrogation unit on board the munition to confirm the identification of the transponder unit and its range.
