7-27-96. WaPo:
A report on the Army's Battlefield Combat Identification
System (BCIS), designed by TRW, which identifies friendly
targets through triple-checked microwave pulses, encrypted
signals that change frequencies 43 times a second to
resist jamming or detection by the enemy.
(The roasting of friendlies depicted in "Courage Under
Fire" is cited as firing increased public interest.)
