Next Generation Load Device - Medium

Abstract

This budget item is a key enabler of the Army Modernization Priorities in support of the Communication Security (COMSEC). Project BY6: This budget item funds the development and test of 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 Units (ECUs). 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 2023 Justification: FY2023 funding supports the NGLD-M developmental effort for two vendors to develop and test 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.
