Anyone ever heard of this thing?
Any thoughts? I would think the main problem with it could be security issues, since it wouldn't be that difficult to detect the transmissions from this thing and target the user.... -------------------- I am either incredibly stupid, incredibly insane, or incredibly bored. Take your pick.

Like various other ID schemes against an insurgent force or the Iranian army that isn't going to be a concern.

Yeah, that was what I was thinking. it could be useful for COIN and fighting non-professional militaries, but say the US vs. Germany or some other developed nation with a comparatively huge military budget would easily defeat and exploit it.

I think this is useful IN PREVENTING BLUE ON BLUE. Which is potentially the main point. Unless you want to argue that IFF is completely useless.

It isn't useless, but you better have retained the skills for what to do when your IFF system shuts down, or you could be in for a world of Blue on Blue hurt. --------------------
