In today's video we'll look at how to interact and use the IFF system in various aircraft. We'll cover IFF basics, transponder usage, and how to interrogate targets in various fighters that have that capability within DCS.
IFF is a great tool to use to be able to identify friendlies, though it should not generally be used as the sole source of information to identify hostile targets. The AWACS is a great asset to use, and will provide target deconfliction. In my video here I did not use the AWACS so I would always have unknown target symbology and would have to deconflict them myself.
