Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
Project 491: Army Chief Information Officer/Deputy Chief of Staff, G-6 manages Information Assurance Development. Project 491: IA Development. Supports the implementation of the National Security Agency (NSA) developed Communications Security (COMSEC) Modernization and Key Management (KM) technologies within the Army. This includes current and next generation encryption techniques, current and future Key Management Infrastructure (KMI) and technology migrations.
The objective of the Cryptographic Systems program is to provide adaptive, flexible, and programmable cryptographic solutions using best practices, lessons learned and programmatic management to meet the challenge of modernizing the Army's aging cryptographic systems. Associated documents include CDD with CM2 ICD approved by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council (JROC) on 15 July 2021. This document addresses the overarching cryptographic capabilities needed for the next two decades, with an emphasis on FY2020-2035. In particular, the CM2 ICD outlines 42 gaps in current capabilities across six capability gap areas: Interoperability, Flexible and Robust Security, Sustainability, Operational Management, Key Management, and Standardization.

What project DV5 buys
This funding enables the Army's Next Generation Command and Control (NGC2) initiative to modernize Command and Control (C2) systems. This Program Element (PE) is a critical enabler of the Army Modernization Priorities including Cryptographic Modernization 2 (CM2) addressing current and emerging cyber security threats. Project DV5, Cryptographic Modernization (Crypto Mod) is a key enabler of the Army Modernization Priorities in support of Army 2030/2040. Communications Security (COMSEC) is governed by the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Instruction (CJCSA) 6510. Crypto Mod performs test, evaluation, development, and configuration management for cryptographic devices that receive key through fill devices and allow for secure communication through Army devices such as In Line Network Encryptors (INE), Link/Trunk Encryptors (LEF), and Secure Voice (SV) families of systems. In order to ensure Warfighters continue to have secured voice and data communications, Army communications systems are required to be upgraded to the latest security technologies and modern algorithms to meet emerging adversarial threats. Crypto Modernization necessitates the utilization of the latest National Security Agency (NSA) cryptographic capabilities in order to defeat adversarial efforts to decrypt, disrupt, or exploit US Army networks. Communications Security (COMSEC) is the Army's implementation of NSA protections to create a unified network that is protected, resilient, and survivable against these threats. To accomplish this multi-faceted effort, consistent with Strategic Planning Guidance and the Army Modernization and Strategy Plan, Crypto Mod performs evaluation of emerging threats, development of advance protections to defeat these threats, testing of commercial and government off the shelf applications developed to provide protections against identified threats, and assessment of new software and hardware updates to these end user devices and software to ensure they remain hardened against cyber-attack. This ensures that all endpoints from workstations in the strategic Enterprise to Tactical vehicles and equipment utilized by dismounted personnel forward deployed are protected when processing the critical mission and voice data that provides the strategic overmatch required to accomplish the Army's mission.
