	~~The interrogation process is undertaken automatically, with no direct pilot / operator intervention necessary.~~		== Notes ==
			*Real life IFF systems use an automated and encrypted "question and answer" routine between one aircraft and another. A correct response leads to the questioned aircraft being identified as friendly. In this respect, IFF can be considered a [[Wikipedia:Challenge-response authentication\|challenge-response authentication system]]. However, an aircraft not replying is not automatically designated as a foe, since there may be legitimate reasons for that, such as battle damage or outdated encryption keys.
	IFF systems ~~can also be incorporated into missile~~ and ~~or defence systems, thus preventing them from firing on / acquiring~~ "~~friendly~~" ~~targets~~. ~~IFF transponders may also be fitted~~ to ~~civilian~~ aircraft ~~for the same reason~~.		*IFF systems can also be incorporated into missile and or defense systems, preventing them from acquiring friendly and firing on friendly targets and thus prevent friendly fire incidents.
