High Frequency Direction Finding System for strategic intelligence collection and emitter location. HF-DF, (popularly known as huff-duff) intercepts and locates voice and message traffic transmitted on short-wave channels. HF-DF systems operate at frequencies where the signals are reflected from the earth's ionosphere [skywave signals].
