KG-94/94A and KG-194/194A
The KG-94 and 194 are a family of full duplex key generators that provide
encryption of digital traffic. The KG-94 and KG-194 are tactical versions of
the KG-94A and KG-194A. The KG-94 is an upgraded version of the KG-94 design.
All verions are cryptographically compatible with each other, as well as with
the KG-81 and KG-95 within their respective data rates in the traditional key
mode. When used in conjunction with the Interface Adapter Unit, they can be a
direct replacement for the KG-27. The KG-194 and 194A are interoperable only
with other KG-194(A) in the FIREFLY mode. The KG-94 and KG-194 family functions
with MIL-STD 118/114, RS-422 and RS-449 standard synchronous interfaces.
Encryption and decryption takes place at speeds of 9.6 Kbps to 13 Mbps. The
KG-194 and 194A generators are compatible with FIREFLY remote re-keying and can
also be keyed with the KSD-64A. Traditional keying is accomplished with the
KOI-18, KYK-13, KYK-15, KOK-12, and the Data Transfer Device (AN/CYZ-10) for
any of the KG-94s and 194s.
The KG-94 and 194 families may be used with fix plant and tactical trunk
encryption devices. They are approved for use at all classification levels. The
authorized vendor for this product is Group Technologies Corporation, located
in Florida. The cost for the KG-94 is $2001, KG-94A is $1991, KG-94 conversion
kit to 194 is $1169.95 and KG-94A conversion kit to 194A is also $1169.95.

KIV-19
The KIV-19 is a new CCEP effort underway to develop a trunk encryption device
that is functionally equivalent to a KG-194. The new equipment will be
miniaturized and utilizes different physical connectors than the KG-194. The
KIV-19 operates in traditional mode over full duplex, half duplex, or simplex
broadcast channels. In FIREFLY mode, it operates only over full duplex
channels. The KIV-19 supports data transfer rates from 9.6 Kbps to 13 Mbps.
The KIV-19 operates in tactical satellite terminals and conditions where weight
is a consideration. It is planned for use at all classification levels. If a
market materializes and the IDIQ contract is similar to the one used on the
KIV-7, program is planned. The vendor is yet to be determined.

KG-95
The KG-95 is a family of full-duplex, fixed plant, bulk encryption/decryption
key generators. There are three KG-95 equipment configurations. The KG-95-1 is
a general purpose version of the KG-95, capable of operating at any data rate
between 10 and 50 Mbps. It is compatible with the KG-81, KG-94/94A, 194/194A
over their common data rates and when using traditional key. The KG-95-2
operates only at the fixed DS-3 data rate of 44.736 Mbps. It is fully compliant
with ANSI T1.102-1987 for DS-3 transmission and reception. The KG-95R is two
KG-95-2s in a dual frame. The frame provides for hot spare capability.
The KG-95 configurations have a MIL-STD 118/114 interface. All three equipment
configurations are capable of operating form traditional, punched paper key or
Remote Rekey Keying (RRK) material. Traditional key may be loaded via a KOI-18,
KYK-13, KYK-15, or Data Transfer Device. Remote Rekey Keying (RRK) material is
loaded via a KSD-64 or the Data Transfer Device and offers the user a one-year
crypto period. When using RRK material, the operator must instruct the KG-95 to
perform a change key operation once every twenty-four hour period. The daily
operations required under traditional key and RRK material need to be initiated
at one end of the link through the equipment's front panel or rear panel remote
command lines. During traditional keying traffic, down time for a change key
command is approximately 500 milliseconds. The down time during RRK is 30
seconds. The KG-95-1 operates at 10-50 Mbps. The KG-95R operates at the DS-3
rate of 44.376 Mbs.
These systems are approved for use at all classification levels. The
manufacturer is Motorola Secure Telecommunications, Scottsdale, Arizona. The
cost will depend on the size of the production run. Unit cost of previous
production run was $7950 for a KG-95-2 and $16000 for KG-95R. Additional

KG-135
TACTICAL HIGH SPEED KEY GENERATOR
The KG-135 is a tactical, high-speed, half duplex, self-synchronizing serial
data link key generator. It is designed for use in an uninhabited airborne
environment at altitudes up to 100,000 feet and satisfies Tactical Rad-Hard
specifications. The KG-135 is a "Load and Go" unit, which means it can start
encrypting or decrypting, assuming a good checkword/key (CW/Key), when power is
applied. The KG-135 has an external computer bus connection, key management
interface, power supply, and appropriate TEMPEST filtering. It operates at
speeds of 10 Mbps to 450 Mbps.
The KG-135 accepts standard paper tape key via KOI-18 or KYK-13. A maximum of
six keys and associated checkwords may be loaded and stored directly into the
Key Management portion of the KG-135 for retrieval. The KG-135 allows for key
loading without using the Command Status port. Only one key may be used in this
scenario. The external computer bus interface allows for status monitoring and
transfer of stored CW/key into the KG-135 cryptologics. Key Management hardware
automatically restarts the unit, reloads the last key in use, and
resynchronizes on the re-application of power.
The KG-135 serves as an encryptor/decryptor for wide-band serial
communications. It is approved for use at all classification levels. The
authorized vendor is Motorola, Inc. The cost is estimated in the range of
$100,000 to $200,000.

terminals. The STU-III/A is a version of the STU-III family designed for use
within the NATO community. It contains all the basic STU-III functions and
capabilities, while adding the STU-III modes of operation. The STU-III SECTEL
models are black in color and incorporate the capability to store 17 net keying
variables compared to the storage of one net keying variable with the Limit
Rate Initial Production model. The STU-III models have two and four wire
adapters built into the terminal.
The STU-III SECTELs operate at 2400, 4800, and 9600 bps full duplex secure
voice. Secure digital data transmission is possible at 75, 110, 300, 600, and
1200 bps in the asynchronous mode. In the synchronous mode, digital data can be
securely transmitted at 2400, 4800 and 9600 bps.
The STU-III is capable of being keyed in three different ways. For STU-III
interoperability, the first uses the FIREFLY II key concept where all keys are
in electronic form and initial keying can be done locally or by access to the
Key Management Central Facility. No per call access is required. For STU-III
interoperability, the second and third way uses the Bellfield Key Distribution
Center (KDC) concept with per call access or commonly held NET key.
