The system built to protect them becomes their greatest vulnerability.
A WORK OF FICTION
An Iranian pilot steals an F-18 and turns it against an American aircraft carrier in the Persian Gulf. In the novel’s central premise, the aircraft’s friendly identification signal becomes a dangerous vulnerability: the systems designed to prevent friendly fire also obstruct the fleet’s response to an enemy flying one of its own aircraft. A safeguard intended to save lives becomes the opening for a devastating attack.

IFF: Identify Friend or Foe; throughout history many inventions were developed to save lives. The IFF system makes it impossible for an American aircraft to fire on another American aircraft. In this case, if one American pilot armed a missile and aimed it at another American aircraft, immediately the missile firing system will pick up the other aircraft's IFF signal and force that aimed missile to go into a sleep mode, making it impossible to be fired at another friendly aircraft. See what happens when an Iranian pilot steals an F-18 and fly's that aircraft at the American Carrier stationed in the Persian Gulf,. Read how the IFF signal emitted from the Carrier and her support ships, makes it impossible to stop the stolen aircraft from attacking and sinking the carrier.
