Given the friendly fire incidents during OIF is it finally time to put
IFF in ground vehicles to prevent blue on blue engagements?

IFF is not going to provide a 100% solution to the problem (remember
that the friendly aircraft engaged by Patriots had IFF
onboard--whether it was working properly or not is another issue).
Then you have to consider how the IFF is to be queried. Besides that,
the US is already implementing a rudimentary ground unit locator
system; look up SINCGARS EPLRS.


Make sure it's an automatic lock to prevent go pill powered trigger
fingers.

The first post you made in this thread was not funny, despite what you
may have thought. This second one at least started out on a reasonable
note, but then you had to blow it with the above.
