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. FY2025 funding supports the NGLD-M developmental effort for two vendors to establish a developmental baseline and conduct developmental and operational testing of their hardware and software solutions.
