FAIRFAX, Va., May 22, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- General
Dynamics Mission Systems announced today that it plans to integrate
its TACLANE-Nano Type 1 encryptor with Cubic Mission
Solutions' DTECH M3X network module stack. The small size of
the TACLANE-Nano allows it to plug into the industry's lowest
Size, Weight and Power (SWaP) portable network stack,
extending operational capability in harsh environments.
The move to integrate the TACLANE-Nano Type 1 encryptor comes in
response to increasing demand by mobile warfighters and
communications professionals to access information and communicate
securely in battlefield and mission environments. The
TACLANE-Nano will enable Cubic Mission Solutions' DTECH M3X network
module stack, which is portable enough to be carried in a backpack,
to have Type 1 encryption suitable for information up to the Top
Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) level.
"We listened to our customers and heard that in addition to
needing trusted and secure communications when mobile, they are
also demanding increased performance in a low SWaP product," said
Brian Morrison, vice president for
the Cyber Solutions line of business with General Dynamics Mission
Systems. "This integration of products paves the way for us to
deploy the world-class TACLANE technology with the resilient M3X
networking modules to the mission with a simple snap."
The TACLANE-Nano is designed to provide the warfighter at the
network edge with greater performance in a more compact,
lightweight and power efficient form factor than solutions in use
today. Built with the latest in cryptographic technology, the
TACLANE-Nano protects information up to the TS/SCI level, and
offers Power over Ethernet (POE) for easy integration into kits and
features to enhance performance when used in severely restricted
networks.
Cubic's M3X product family allows users to operate in austere
environments with ruggedized modules consisting of a network
switch, router, application server and smart battery power system.
The M3X represents a new operational capability and configuration
system, ready to be deployed for any mission.
The TACLANE-Nano was submitted to the National Security Agency
December 2018 for certification and
is available for purchase via General Dynamics Mission Systems and
an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract.
