IFF Transponder



Identification friend or foe (IFF) is a system used primarily by Knightmare Frames and Airships. It broadcasts a signal, encoded on a specific channel, that transmits information regarding location, direction and unit type, allowing for tacticians to actively see the battlefield. The system can be a double edged sword, as demonstrated by Lelouch, when the IFF information is used by the enemy. An IFF transponder can be removed, although the exact process is unknown.
