India, June 4 -- BAE Systems PLC (BA.L) announced Wednesday that The U.S. Navy has awarded a $30 million contract to modernize the AN/APX-123A Common Transponder, a system crucial for preventing friendly fire.
The refreshed CXP will replace existing IFF transponders on drones, ships, fixed-wing aircraft, and helicopters, addressing obsolescence and boosting processing capacity. Its open-system design and high-density FPGA technology allow future software upgrades without hardware changes.
Certified to Mark XIIB IFF standards with Mode S and Mode 5 encryption, the transponder will also feature additional receive channels for passive Mode 5 Level 2 and ADS-B In acquisition, enhancing situational awareness.
