After a detailed evaluation, the U.S. DoD International AIMS (Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System, Identification Friend or Foe, MK XIIA, System) Program Office (PO) has verified that the T-47N complies with all DoD AIMS performance standards. The AIMS PO also examined and approved Tel-Instrument's production facility and acceptance test procedures. The DoD AIMS PO was established for the configuration control, and oversight responsibility of the Mark XII IFF architecture, which includes performance/ interoperability evaluation and certification of sub-systems at both the end item (black box) and integrated platform (aircraft) levels. IFF systems are the primary means of aircraft identification in Air Defense operations. Proper use of IFF procedures facilitates rapid engagement of enemy aircraft, conserves Air Defense assets, and reduces risk to friendly aircraft. Harold K. Fletcher, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, said, "Tel-Instrument is proud that the AIMS PO has certified our T-47N product. An integral part of the Company's practice is to strengthen its position in the military marketplace by obtaining official product certifications and approvals. The T-47N is a multi- function flight-line test set which also provides Tactical Air Navigation (TACAN) and Traffic Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) test capabilities, in addition to a full suite of Transponder-Interrogator IFF test capabilities."
