BAE Systems completed Allied Identification Mark System (AIMS) certification for its AN/APX-127(V)1 Combined Interrogator Transponder (CIT). This certification confirms the system meets U.S. and NATO-interoperable standards. The AN/APX-127(V)1 is designed to replace several legacy CIT systems currently installed on F-16s. Following this box-level certification, the U.S. Air Force can proceed with platform-level testing.
