    Civil A/C Ident - Mode B 17 µs

    21 µs
    Altitude Data - Mode C
    SSR Questions (Modes)

    Who are you ? (Mode 1 and 3/A)

    What is your altitude ? (Mode C)

    What is your mission number ? (Mode 2)

    Are you FRIEND or FOE ? (Mode 4)


    Mode Interlacing

    The ability of the system to automatically change


    modes.

    This enables more diverse information to be gathered.

    ADVANTAGES OF SSR
    OVER PRIMARY RADAR

     POSITIVE IDENTIFICATION

     CLUTTER ELIMINATION

     LOWER POWER FOR EQUIVALENT RANGE

     ACCURATE HEIGHT INFORMATION
