The focus of the upgrade is to modify the Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) in both systems to Mode 5 functionality.
“Saab’s IFF Mode 5 upgrade will ensure the Australian Army’s RBS 70 and Giraffe AMB radar capabilities continue to provide world-leading force protection against a wide range of air threats,” says Dean Rosenfield, Managing Director of Saab Australia.
