Problems with Integrating the IKZ-02P IFF Interrogator with the JODEK-SP Air Defence Gun and Rocket Artillery System

Abstract

The objective of integrating the IKZ-02P identification friend-or-foe interrogator with the ZUR-23-2SP air defence gun and rocket artillery system (henceforth “ADGRAS”), codename “JODEK-SP”, was to provide the latter with a novel functionality consisting of locking out the ADGRAS every time the IFF interrogation returned "friend" for aircraft operating in the operating range of the ADGRAS deployed to effect anti-aircraft defence at air bases. This paper presents the conclusions from an analysis of interface cooperation of the IKZ-02P IFF interrogator system and the JODEK-SP ADGRAS, complete with results of an experimental verification applied to validate the solutions applied to integrate both systems.
