India’s premier aeronautic laboratory, the state-run Hindustan Aeronauts Limited (HAL) has delivered the first home grown production unit of Identification of Friend or Foe (IFF-1410) transponder for the Indian Navy’s Boeing P-8I reconnaissance aircraft. The IFF-1410 transponder which is designed, developed and produced by HAL has been handed over to the Indian Navy and will be integrated into the P-81 Poseidon aircraft.
The indigenous IFF-1410 transponder from HAL’s Avionics Division is also under evaluation and trials for Jaguar aircraft's Darin III upgrade and HAL's trainer aircraft HJT-36 Sitara besides getting integrated with P-81 aircraft.
Meanwhile, India’s HAL is gearing up to demonstrate a Combined Interrogator Transponder (CIT) MK XII system by mid-June 2013. HAL’s Hyderabad Division is also developing a production equivalent prototype of a software-defined radio which will also be revealed next year.
