OVERVIEW

Secure IFF for sUAS

SKU:

The Secure Attritable IFF (SAIFF) system from uAvionix brings low-cost, high-trust identification to even the smallest and most expendable unmanned aircraft. Using the ultra-compact Trakr PLI transceiver and the robust SAIFF Hub, the system securely broadcasts UAS position data via Mode 5 Level 2 Broadcast (M5L2-B), enabling real-time situational awareness for aircraft, ground forces, and C2 nodes. SAIFF delivers secure integration into the existing IFF ecosystem—without compromising on size, cost, or operational flexibility.

Primary Features

  • Miniature Airborne PLI Transmitters

    Attritable, low-SWaP Trakrs weight 1 oz. and broadcast encrypted UAS Position Location Information (PLI) data in real time to the SAIFF Hub.

  • Secure Mode 5 Hub

    Rebroadcasts Trakr PLI data via M5L2-B using NSA-approved cryptography and standard protocols.

  • Multi-Domain Awareness

    Extends trusted IFF visibility to all assets in the battlespace, large and small.

Additional Features

Enhanced Performance and Integration Capabilities

Expendable Form Factor

The Trakr is small, lightweight, and low-cost enough to be affixed to nano- or micro-UAS platforms without mission impact and loss of cryptography.

Resilient, Frequency-Hopping Waveform

The field-tested, encrypted 902–928 MHz ISM band link offers TRANSEC and jamming resistance in contested environments.

Whitelisted Device Authentication

Only approved Trakrs are rebroadcast via the SAIFF Hub, ensuring data integrity and command control.
