In the book Crusade: The Untold Story of the Persian Gulf War by Rick Atkinson, the author meations the problem the USAF has which ID of friendly IFV while on the ground and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) solutions into sloving this. I think one of the systems was flashing ID Beacon. I remember hearing about something like this on the TOW ATGM course in 1995. Something like it's in the research stage troops more to follow.
