Simple Key Loader (SKL) Army Fielding Strategy SYSTEM OVERVIEW

COMPONENTS OF ARMY KEY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM The DTD is one of the three sub- systems of AKMS Local COMSEC Management Software (LCMS)/ Key Processor DTD Automated Communications Engineering Software (ACES)

Background-Study Data Transfer Device (DTD) Since 1998 there has been an increased need for Data Transfer Devices in the field to support data distribution Current shortfall of 21,000 devices Army wide

Background-Study Data Transfer Device (DTD) Issues of Concern: There is no longer a production contract for the AN/CYZ-10A Technology is obsolete i.e. - Processor Speed 4 kHz - Storage Capacity 64 kbs

Background-Study Data Transfer Device (DTD) THE SOLUTION The Army began the development of the Simple Key Loader (SKL) Digital Computer System, AN/PYQ-10

CONTRACTS AWARDED: In June 10, 2002 Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) was designated as the System Integration for the SKL In Oct 2003, INTER4 Corporation, San Francisco was awarded the host contract Background-Study Data Transfer Device (DTD)

SKL GENERAL INFORMATION Processor 32-bit Intel® XScale™ CPU (400 MHz) RAM 64/128 MB of SDRAM ROM 64 MB of Flash Memory Graphics 2-D Accelerator Size7” x 3.5” x 1.8” Weight Approx 18 oz. 504 gms.
