SQUAWKing was a term that was made up during World War II, when "Identification Friend or Foe" (IFF) systems were set up on airplanes so that it was possible to determine whether an aircraft was an ally or an enemy, and avoid any friendly fire. To let air traffic control know that a plane was "friendly," a two-way communication system was set up using a transponder. Air traffic control would put out a request for an aircraft to identify itself. If the aircraft identified itself with a code, then they established themselves as friendly. The IFF system was codenamed "Parrot" during the war, and it took on the term "SQUAWK" to determine the actual process of communicating. Today, SQUAWKing refers to a specific transponder code that aircraft can use to identify themselves or send a specific message to air traffic control.
