Longreach, Queensland, Australia - April 23, 2019: Qantas Founders Museum. Qantas Boeing 707 VH-XBA jet aircraft on display. The first civilian jet aircraft in Australia.
Four antenna pods of an 'Identification Friend or Foe' (IFF) system. The IFF is an electronic equipment used by military aircraft to determine whether other aircraft or systems in the vicinity are friendly or hostile. Its primary purpose is to prevent friendly fire and enhance situational awareness in combat zones, allowing pilots to differentiate between allies, neutral entities, or unknown / enemy contacts. An IFF system typically consists of a transponder and an interrogator. The transponder responds to interrogation signals from other systems, while the interrogator sends out signals to identify aircraft. Operating in multiple modes, including civilian and military, the system often uses encryption for secure communication. When an interrogator sends a radio signal, a compatible transponder on the target aircraft replies with encoded information, such as its identity or status. This response is analyzed to classify the target. However, the IFF system has limitations: it requires both the interrogator and target to have compatible and functional systems, and it does not replace the need for visual identification or other methods of threat assessment in complex scenarios.

The faded paint, worn fuselage, and overgrown tarmac vegetation reflect its years of dedicated service and eventual decommissioning. A historic piece of Spanish military aviation, now resting in the annals of aviation history.
