AN/TPX-41
Interrogator Set AN/TPX-41 operates in the L-band. It is designed for providing aircraft identification information for an air traffic control center. The interrogator operates as a complete aircraft identification system with both IFF (identification friend or foe) and SIF (selective identification features) capabilities. The IFF capability allows an operator to distinguish between friendly and unfriendly aircraft, while the SIF capability permits selective identification of specific friendly aircraft.
