The 21-40-42 is a phase stable directional high gain IFF antenna intended for use as part of an IFF interrogator array for airborne applications.

Electrical design is configured as a monopole Yagi array and the position of the driven element, reflector and directors ensure high gain and a high front to back ratio.

Mechanical design comprises a printed circuit radiating element housed within a glass loaded composite shell fitted to an aluminum alloy base plate. All elements are foamed-in place for long term reliability.
