Tactical Secure Voice/Data Encryption Device

The objective of this proposal is to develop the architecture for a new communications terminal that will allow future phases to improve on both voice quality and encryption technology from the terminals currently in use such as the Advanced Narrowband Digital Voice Terminal (ANDVT). This new device will be software-defined to be easily upgradeable as new technologies appear and will be interoperable with many current and planned military radios than are similar terminals that are in use at this time. This architecture will accommodate both near-term software and hardware advances that will allow this platform to be used to evaluate the advantages that various configurations provide to users in the field.
