    General Dynamics Mission Systems has been awarded a contract by the U.S. Army to develop and produce a certified hand-held device to manage and transfer cryptographic key material and mission planning data.

    Under this contract, awarded by the Army’s Program Executive Office Command, Control, Communications-Tactical, General Dynamics will design and build a National Security Agency-certified key-loader: The Next Generation Load Device-Medium.

    “We are proud to partner with the Army to bring our industry-leading crypto experience to bear, along with a powerful user experience team,” said Chris Brady, president of General Dynamics Mission Systems. “Our device will be designed with the mobile Soldier in mind to ensure security and ease of use, while standing up to the rigors of a tactical environment.”

    The initial value of this multiple-award indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contract is $229 million, with a 10-year period of performance, during which the Army plans to procure 265,000 units.

    The NGLD-M devices will transfer the strongest NSA-generated cryptographic keys to tactical, strategic and enterprise network systems operating from unclassified up to the highest levels of security classification.

    “By leveraging our demonstrated crypto, key management, and tactical computing expertise, we will deliver an accelerated, low-risk, sustainable, NSA-certified NGLD-M solution,” said Brian Morrison, vice president for the cyber systems line of business with General Dynamics Mission Systems. “It will be built from the ground up to support usability and security, with significant modularity to allow future upgrades.”
