The F-16 IFF Coupler Kit solves the problem of over-the-air testing resulting in unreliable radiated power and transponder minimum trigger level testing in multi-path ramp and hangar environments. This kit also provides isolated IFF Interrogator and Transponder testing to eliminate the need for DD-1494 frequency authorization. The interrogator coupler mounts over the aircrafts’ four element interrogator antenna array. The transponder coupler mounts over top and bottom transponder antennas.
Version (EDMO#140600) includes: 140596 UC-113 Antenna Coupler, 140597 UC-213 Antenna Coupler, 140598 UC-223 Antenna Coupler, 87431 UC-584 L-Band Coupler, 141981 20 ft Coaxial Cable, 138331 Tripod, 141228 Transit Case, and 141318 Operation Manual.
