Hawk IFF | Intelligence & Communications

An IFF you can hold in your hand.

Ultra designed the Hawk IFF for deployment in both current and next generation platforms. This miniaturization reflects the trend toward ever-smaller UAVs and extends to traditional fixed and rotary wing aircraft. We’ve reduced the SWaP 20x to fit into the design of any airborne chassis, with a weight of 7.6 ounces.

Support for all modes provides a highly secure solution.

Hawk IFF supports all standard communications modes to ensure that data remains secure even in congested environments. Support includes standard civilian and military encryption modes: 1, 2, 3/A, C, S, 5, and ADS-B.

Designed to be deployed where you need it.

Traditionally, IFF devices could only transmit in one direction – down. That limitation restricted where on an aircraft designers could place the device. Ultra Hawk IFF possesses antenna diversity. It broadcasts a signal bi-directionally with dual antennas to allow for placement anywhere on the aircraft without sacrificing superior performance.

Extended range with exceptional power.

With up to 500w transmit power, Hawk IFF has more than sufficient range to ensure communications connectivity with relevant ground assets and provide persistent command & control of airborne assets.

Built by the best.

The engineering team behind Hawk IFF has decades of experience in developing next generation IFF devices, with an emphasis on usability, innovation and execution.

Miniaturization to the Max IFF Whitepaper

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) have seen explosive growth and evolution just in the last few years, and it’s a trend that is gaining momentum almost daily. Where will UAVs go from here? Click below to explore current trends in military and commercial usage and look at one particular technology that UAVs are driving: miniaturization.
