EXPLANATION

 The KGV-72 Type-1 Programmable Encryption Device features a modular architecture with the programmability and scalability to accommodate a wide range of link and Internet Protocol (IP) in-line network encryption applications. Developed as part of the Force XXI Battle Command, Brigade-and-Below (FBCB2) Type-1 Encryption Device (T1ED) Program, the KGV-72 is a high-grade security solution that is compatible with existing and future Blue Force Tracking (BFT) terminals and transceivers. Its flexible, software-upgradeable design supports both legacy FBCB2 L-band/BLOS link communications and evolving IP standards. The KGV-72 is secured with the programmable National Security Agency (NSA)-certified Sierra II™ encryption module, which meets all requirements of the NSA’s Cryptographic Modernization initiative. Programming of Suite-A and Suite-B algorithms is also supported, allowing the KGV-72 to be used for a wide range of in-line network applications. The KGV-72 operates seamlessly with installed FBCB2 remote computers and provides high-grade traffic data encryption. For easy operation, the KGV-72 front panel features only a single knob and LED. Tested to MIL-STD-810F requirements, the KGV-72 is a military-rugged encryption device in a compact, form factor package ideal for secure force tracking applications.
