Key Management Infrastructure Development
Abstract
As part of the Army's Key Management Infrastructure (KMI) implementation, the Next Generation Load Device - Medium (NGLD-M) is an Acquisition Category III (ACAT III) Program of Record (POR) and modernized load device that will replace legacy AN/PYQ-10A and AN/PYQ-10A(C) (Army), which is commonly referred to as the Simple Key Loader (SKL). The NGLD-M will receive, store, manage, and transfer electronic key through the network to be loaded into communication devices such as radios and satellites to secure the network. The NGLD-M requires RDT&E investment to develop and test the hardware and software solutions. Without this technology Warfighters are required to manually receive their cryptographic products by traveling to COMSEC account locations (which may not be co-located) and manually filling their devices. 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.
