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


I seem to recall a few friendly fire incidents during OIF on vehicles that
did have IFF.

The OIF system relied on panels that showed up 'lighter' on thermal imaging
scopes. Not very effective when your vehicle/aircraft doesn't actually have
one...

Didn't a large portion of the forces also have the EPLRS system?
