  IFF Soziale Ökologie - Organisatorische Einbettung
IFF was founded as an “Institute for Interdisciplinary Studies of Austrian Universities” in 1978 and had until 2003 the unusual status of an "inter-university" institute.
IFF worked in association with the Universities of Klagenfurt, Vienna, Graz, and Innsbruck, and is therefore located in a number of Austrian cities.
The Vienna IFF branch employs almost 40 scientists, 15 of whom are employed in the context of the federal university system.

  ASDIC, Radar and IFF Systems Aboard HMCS HAIDA - Part 7 of 10
Today, the IFF interrogator is embedded in the feedhorn (or a secondary antenna 'bolted' to the parent) of the radar antenna and as the radar sweeps and hits a target it challenges it at the same time.
The IFF unit in a friendly target will automatically respond with the correct reply and the reply is made visible on the screen of the interrogating radar.
IFF challenge and response were to occupy a separate, specialized band (A-Band; 165 to 185 Mcs or 157 to 187 Mcs, depending on the reference text).

 Interchange File Format - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is followed by a 32-bit unsigned integer (all integers in IFF files' structure are big-endian) specifying the size of the following data (the chunk content) in bytes.
Some programs that create IFF files add to them chunks with their internal data; these same files can later be read by other programs without any disruption (because their parsers could skip uninteresting chunks) which is a great advantage of IFF and similar formats.
RIFF is a variant of IFF format devised by Microsoft and IBM; RIFF files differ from IFF files in that they have letters RIFF at the beginning and use little-endian integers.

 Standards and specs: The Interchange File Format (IFF)
While the IFF format might not be actively maintained, or in very widespread use, it offers a lot of insight into generic file format standards and issues that might come up in dealing with them.
IFF "FTXT" (formatted text) files might not have had all the features of a modern word processor, but the definition is public, and programs supporting the format could generally communicate with each other.
The problems IFF left to developers (such as how to tell people what your new chunk type was) have not really been changed that much by newer standards, such as XML.

 IFF: Definition
IFF systems originated in World WII to enable secondary radars to identify U.S. aircraft from enemy aircraft by assigning a unique identifier code to U.S. aircraft transponders.
The system was initially intended to distinguish between enemy and friend but has evolved such that the term "IFF" commonly refers to all modes of operation, including civil and foreign aircraft use.
An adjunct to the IFF beacon is the altitude encoding transponder known as mode C -- all commercial and military aircraft have them, but a fair percentage of general aviation light aircraft do not because of cost.

 IFF Questions & Answers
IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) is an electronic system which can determine the intent of an aircraft with the speed of the fastest computer.
Modern IFF is a two-channel system, with one frequency (1030 megahertz) used for the interrogating signals and another (1090 megahertz) for the reply.
In the present IFF system, the beam of interrogation signals sweeps the horizon in synchronism with the primary radar beam and all aircraft transponders that are reached by that beam are triggered to respond whether they are of immediate interest to the air controllers or not.

 Standards and specs: The Interchange File Format (IFF)
While the IFF format might not be actively maintained, or in very widespread use, it offers a lot of insight into generic file format standards and issues that might come up in dealing with them.
The IFF specification's allowance for new chunk types is already suspiciously similar to XML, but the real kicker is that, since chunks can be nested, the IFF spec provides for defining your own chunk type, which defines its own contents.
IFF "FTXT" (formatted text) files might not have had all the features of a modern word processor, but the definition is public, and programs supporting the format could generally communicate with each other.

 [1.0] The British Invention Of Radar   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
IFF was just what it said, figuring out who was friend and who was foe, so friends could shoot foes and not shoot other friends.
The magnitude of radar reflections depend not only on a large number of environmental factors but on the angle at which the radar beam hits the aircraft, and it proved impossible to consistently determine which aircraft were carrying passive reflectors and which were not.
IFF was a sticky problem and getting to work right was going to take some effort.

 IFF FAQ
The morphic aspect of ontologies is manifested by the lattice of IFF theories in the small and the context of IFF theories in the large.
The IFF is such a framework, with ontologies connected by morphisms and constructed through colimits (a fusion process).
Since it is represented by an IFF theory, an unpopulated object level ontology will appear as the closure of the theory, which is one element in the lattice of theories that is based at its underlying first order language.

 EA IFF 85
IFF addresses these needs by defining a standard file structure, some initial data object types, ways to define new types, and rules for accessing these files.
The IFF standard date format will be one of those used in MS-DOS, Macintosh, or Amiga DOS (probably a 32-bit unsigned number of seconds since a reference point).
Since an IFF file can be a group of objects, programs that read/write single objects can communicate to an extent with programs that read/write groups.

IFF also helps developers write programs that easily read data files created with each others' IFF compliant software, even if there is no business relationship between the developers.
