Research abstract
FTI will research the present need for MCAS by integration of an IFF Mode 5 waveformto provide collision avoidance capabilities for the Navy platform. We will evaluatecurrent transponder hardwares to determine the change/modification requirementsnecessary for such integration. Also included will be studies of current militarysystems, hardware and software currently in use, and the technical and functionallimitations and restraints required to implement Mode 5 MCAS functions into the IFFtransponders. We will provide our solutions in a functional block diagram,including the necessary interfaces and options selected.The commercial potential of this research will be to provide collision avoidance viaMCAS using Mode 5, for general, commercial, and NATO aviation. This will providefor greater safety world-wide, and enhance NATO applications as well as increasesales potential to foreign militaries and individuals.
