Radar transponders and radar target enhancers have been in use in a variety of applications for many years. Perhaps the most widely-known applications of radar transponders are in Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) and its civilian counterpart, secondary surveillance radar for air traffic control, and as racons in marine navigation and, most recently, as Search And Rescue Transponders (SART) in the Global Marine Distress and Safety System (GMDSS).
