This is very cool - and virtually in existance, as well. There are times
when people underestimate technological advances adn the speed of
same...looks like our IFF discussion is one of those.

When real life starts to seem like science fiction, it's time to read
newer or better scifi...

Suddenly, assuming near-universal IFFs and good sensor gear on almost
all
combat vehicles in nearly all armies isn't a stretch at all. Even 'poor'
armies like the IF could afford to stick a near-microscopic ID/IFF unit
in
the back of every recuit's skull...they've got FTL starships, so ID/IFF
systems sound plausible.
