    "excerpt": "Modernized and adaptable AN/APX-127(V)1 Combined Interrogator Transponder supports latest crypto and cybersecurity resilience requirements GREENLAWN, N.Y. , Sept. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BAE Systems' (LON: BA) new Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) AN/APX-127(V)1 Combined Interrogator Transponder (CIT) received AIMS certification from the Department of War for the U.S. Air Force's F-16 Fighting Falcon. The AIMS certification is a U.S. and NATO interoperable standard that marks the IFF solution ready for use. This next-generation CIT will improve identification and enable enhanced decision making to distinguish between allied forces and potential threats in contested scenarios. The modernized system consolidates interrogator and transponder functions into one box for highly maneuverable aircraft. The design ensures ongoing versatility to meet current and future mission requirements that support the warfighter in the evolving battlespace. Its open-system architecture allows for software upgrades, reducing the risk and cost associated with hardware modifications. With the same form factor, it is a drop-in replacement for the AN/APX-113(V), AN/APX-125(V), and AN/APX-126(V) CITs, which are currently operating on multiple U.S. and international platforms. \"We are investing in the next generation of our IFF technology to support our customers' missions for today and tomorrow,\" said...",
