Radar Recognition Set UPX-6 is part of the target identification equipment for a radar set in an IFF system. The UPX-6 is a receiver-Transmitter that transmits coded rf pulses to airborne transponder identification sets and then converts the transponder reply to video pulses. The video pulses can be displayed on radar indicators or processed by digital equipment. The UPX-6 has the ability to interrogate any targets detected by its associated radar equipment.
