This chart summarizes the superior system performance of Mode 5.
Upper Left: Security is dramatically improved, as you can see here. Mode 5 relieves concerns NSA has relative to Mode 4 and our warfighters. Where as with Mode 4, we have a 24-hour code validity interval, the Mode 5 interval is a matter of seconds making it virtually impossible to defeat cryptographic security through spoofing and/or exploitation. Additionally, during the transition from Mode 4 to Mode 5, all current Mark XII data is included in Mode 5 and protected.
Upper Right: One of the most important increases in performance is Mode 5’s capacity to discriminate between closely spaced targets. Mode 4 replies in the interrogation beam all have the same delay and therefore, arrive at the interrogator ‘overlapped’, ‘garbled’ or lost. Mode 5 replies are randomly spaced via a Random Reply Delay routine. Formation flights and/or multi-target ‘fur ball’ operations are now easily sorted out in a single antenna sweep
Lower Left: Through process gain, Mode 5 significantly increases battlespace volumetric coverage, and the multipath-induced dropped-target fade zones are pushed out from the interrogating platform thus increasing the acquisition range to essentially radar horizon. Two significant improvements: track continuity and operator workload.
Lower Right: Finally, Mode 5 is designed for minimum interference with Civil ATC radars. For many years, the FAA has had strict rules on the radiation of Mode 4, because its use under certain conditions causes civil transponders to squitter or automatically generate unwanted replies that adversely impact controllers’ aircraft track integrity. The Mode 5 message design and lower interrogation rate results in an 85% improvement over the current system.

13. Lethal Interrogation “Last chance” friend ID prior to engagement
Provides EMCON like condition with means to be identified
Transponders in STANDBY or ON will reply
Highest priority interrogation and fully encrypted
SURVEILLANCE
NON-LETHAL INTERROGATION
ENGAGEMENT
NO REPLY
Mode 5 Lethal is probably one of the greatest benefits of Mode 5. Mode 5 Lethal allows a platform to be in an EMCON like condition with it’s transponder turned to standby and still be identified in an engagement scenario. Any interrogations conducted for surveillance purposes will be ignored by the target platform. If a platform is going to engage a target, a Mode 5 Lethal interrogation will be conducted prior weapon light-off.
It is important that the operator community understand that this capability can not be abused. Where applicable, the capability will be a function of the combat weapon system, such as AEGIS Command and Decision Computer. In cases where a weapon system is non-existent, extreme discretion must be adhered to when using Lethal. Abuse will lead to pilots turning there transponders off thus defeating NATO’s intent for this capability.
