Next Generation Load Device - Medium

Abstract

The Next Generation Load Device - Medium funding line supports the Army Network Modernization Strategy LOE 1, Unified Network. Efforts are aligned to support the Network-Cross Functional Team capability set approach to achieve the network modernization strategy. Project BY6: This funding line supports COMSEC technologies within the Army to perform the systems integration and User Application Software (UAS) development for the Next Generation Load Device - Medium (NGLD-M) to conduct the Army's key fill mission by issuing, filling, and managing Cryptographic keys to both legacy and future Key Management Infrastructure (KMI) aware End-Cryptographic (ECUs). This technology requires RDT&E investment to meet the requirements outlined in the NGLD Capability Production Document (CPD). This effort is an Acquisition Category III (ACAT III) Program of Record (POR). COMSEC is governed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJCSA) 6510. In order to ensure Warfighters continue to have secured communications (i.e., encrypted data and voice), Army communications systems are required to support modern cryptographic capabilities by implementing modern algorithms. These efforts are consistent with Strategic Planning Guidance (SPG). Project BY6 FY 2022 Justification: FY2022 funding supports the initial award of the NGLD-M developmental effort to up to two vendors to begin development and testing of their hardware and software solutions. Prior to FY2022, the NGLD-M development effort was funded under PE 0303140A, Project DV4. In FY2022 and out, PE 0303140A no longer includes funding associated with the NGLD-M Program. New PE 0303140A Project Code BY6 was established to clearly identify requirements for NGLD-M development and is not considered a new start effort.
