BN, BN-1, CXEN Mark III IFF INTERROGATOR-RESPONSOR
Description.-BN series are small Mark III IFF interrogator-responsors
for use with shipborne radars equipped to receive IFF video pulses. They
can he installed where space is at a premium They interrogate transpondors
AN/APX-1, AN/APX-2, SCR-595 (ABK series) and SCR-695. The BN is designed
for operation with all surface-detection radars, with SD series (submarine
radars), with SP-1M, SK-1M, and with fire-control radars Mark 4 and Mark
H.
