IFF Emulators
KIV-79 to KIV-77 Adapter
Upgrade to modern Mode 5 capability without redesigning your platform.
The KIV-79 to KIV-77 Adapter allows the KIV-79 cryptographic unit to operate as a form-fit replacement for legacy KIV-77 installations—preserving footprint, connector alignment, and mounting interfaces.
This adapter streamlines integration and testing, providing a plug-and-play path for upgrading existing transponder or interrogator systems to current NSA-approved Mode 5 encryption standards.
Compatible with the KIV-79 Emulator, the adapter supports seamless integration with a range of Mode 5 test environments, including the Tel-Instrument T-47/M5 and TS-4530A Test Sets.
This versatility makes it ideal for both field verification and lab-based IFF development and validation.
IFF Mode 5 Emulator
The next-generation AIMS Mode 5 Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) Emulator by WebSec is designed as a modern, non-CCI replacement for legacy cryptographic devices. It can operate in place of a KIV-79 or, with an optional adapter, a KIV-77 — providing a flexible and future-ready solution for Mode 5 testing and evaluation.Physically representative of the KIV-79 form factor, the emulator supports flight line and lab use, with full implementation of Flight Line Test Mode and seamless integration with Tel-Instrument T-47/M5 and TS-4530A Test Sets. It mimics KIV-79 Crypto Host Serial Interface (CHSI) protocol behavior during power-up, initialization, and while running traffic, ensuring drop-in compatibility with existing workflows.
The emulator interoperates with other Mode 5 emulators and enhances test visibility by displaying all AIMS 04-900A Mode 5 messages in a human-readable format. Optional Active-Pro integration adds Mode 5 signal analysis capability for advanced test environments.
