A TACLANE (short for "Tactical FASTLANE" or Tactical Local Area Network Encryption) is a family of Inline Network Encryptors (INE) developed and manufactured by General Dynamics Mission Systems to meet the National Security Agency (NSA) requirements for High Assurance Internet Protocol Encryptor (HAIPE version 4.1 as of Nov 2013).[2]

Description

The TACLANE devices are Type 1, key-agile, In-line Network Encryptors that provide network communications security on Internet Protocol (IP) and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks for the individual user or for enclaves of users at the same security level. They are typically deployed in Department of Defense (DOD) tactical and strategic networks, government agencies and their contractors.

TACLANEs allow users to communicate securely over legacy networks such as the Mobile Subscriber Equipment packet network, Non-secure Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNet), Secret Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNet), and emerging ATM networks. TACLANEs provide encryption for IP datagram traffic.[3] ATM traffic and IP datagrams are encapsulated in ATM cells to support a variety of IP, ATM, and mixed network configurations. TACLANEs can be used to overlay a secure Virtual Private Network on top of existing public and/or private network infrastructures.

TACLANE Models

TACLANE-Micro (KG-175D) Encryptor

TACLANE-Micro was introduced and became certified by the NSA in 2007 to protect classified information Top Secret and Below. In 2014, it was announced that General Dynamics C4 Systems (now General Dynamics Mission Systems) delivered 100,000 TACLANE-Micro encryptors to the U.S. Navy's Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR).[4]

Specifications

  • Size: 1.6"H (IU) x 5.5"W x 10.85"D; 4.25 lbs
  • Power: 25 Watts
  • Operating Temp: -40 °C to 60 °C (-40 °F to 140 °F)
  • Storage Temp: -40 °C to 71 °C (-40 °F to 160 °F)[5]

TACLANE-C100 Non-CCI Suite B Encryptor

The TACLANE-C100 is designated as a Suite B, Cryptographic High Value Product (CHVP).[6] This encryptor was certified by the National Security Agency (NSA) as a Suite B device to secure network communications at the Secret level and below in 2012. The certification makes it a C100 non-Controlled Cryptographic Item (CCI).[7]

Specifications

  • Size: 1.61"H x 5.5" W x 10.85"; 4.25 lbs
  • Power: <22 Watts
  • Operating Temp: -40 °C to +60 °C (-40 °F to 140 °F)
  • Storage Temp: -40 °C to +71 °C (-40 °F to 160 °F)[6]

TACLANE-10G (KG-175X) Encryptor

The TACLANE-10G Encryptor is the only HAIPE encryptor to offer simultaneous IP and Ethernet capabilities. Providing 10 Gbit/s throughput speed, the 10G secures information classified Top Secret SCI and below over government and commercial networks.[8] This encryptor became certified by the National Security Agency (NSA) in 2015 which allowed U.S government agencies to order the 10G encryptor.[9]

Specifications

  • Size: 3.5" (2U) H x 19" W x 23" D; <32 lbs
  • Power: 210 Watts (Typical)
  • Operating Temp: 0 °C to 50 °C (32 °F to 122 °F)
  • Storage Temp: -41 °C to 71 °C (41 °F to 160 °F)[8]

TACLANE-1G (KG-175G) Encryptor

The TACLANE-1G is ruggedized for both tactical and strategic environments.[10] This encryptor became NSA certified to secure information classified Top Secret SCI and below in 2013.[11]

Specifications

  • Size: 1.71” (1U) H x 8.6” W x 12.5” D 19”; <8 lbs
  • Power: <40 Watts
  • Operating Temp: -40 °C to +52 °C (-40 °F to 126 °F)
  • Storage Temp: -40 °C to +71 °C (-40 °F to 160 °F)[10]

TACLANE-FLEX (KG-175F) Encryptor

The TACLANE-FLEX became certified by the NSA to secure information at the Top Secret/SCI level and below in 2017.[12]

Specifications

  • Size: 1.7” H x 5.5” W x 10.85” D; <5 lbs
  • Power: 32 Watts (Typical)
  • Operating Temp: - 40 °C to +52 °C
  • Storage Temp: - 40 °C to +85 °C[13]

TACLANE-Nano (KG-175N) Encryptor

The TACLANE-Nano encryptor works to integrate with flyaway kits and deployable systems, as well as facilitates communications during intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, dismounted tactical forward deployment, covert and special operations. This encryptor has not been certified by the NSA yet.[14]

Specifications

  • Size: 1.2”H x 3.5”W x 2.25”D; <8 oz
  • Power: 5 Watts (Typical)
  • Operating Temp: -40° to +60 °C
  • Storage Temp: -40 °C to +85 °C[15]

KG-530 SONET Encryptor [Discontinued]

General Dynamics Mission Systems announced end of production on product in December 2015.[16]

TACLANE-GigE (KG-175A) Encryptor [Discontinued]

General Dynamics Mission Systems announced end of life (EOL) on product.[17]
