TACLANE (2024)

(36) Therefore, military customers ("customer(s)") use a specific type of a hardware encryption device known as the TACLANE encryptor, built by the contractor, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc., which is hardware equipment built with an incorporated software code to encrypt data.

It is as easy as pointing a TACLANE at a different IP address.

General Dynamics Mission Systems has introduced Agile virtual local area network (VLAN), adding capability to TACLANE encryptors by enabling users to send and receive layer two and high assurance Internet protocol encryptor (HAIPE) traffic, the company said.

The strategic ADN stack consisted of a Black Core switch, NIPR router and switch, SIPR & CX-I TACLANE and switch.

The original tactical ADN consisted of an AES256 capable router and switch for NIPR connected to a set with a TACLANE, router and switch for both SIPR and CX-I.

COMSEC deals with FM keys, TACLANE keys, load sets, and simple key loaders.

In the 3IBCT MiTT and PB configuration, where there is no CPN, the LAN section consists of a KG175 TACLANE, which tunnels Secure Internet Protocol Routing through Non-Secure IP Routing, and to two routers and two switches which control and distribute connectivity throughout the MiTT or PB.

Other networks are tunneled through the NIPRNET with TACLANE type 1 encryptors.

The router is then connected to a Cisco 3560G switch via its Ethernet port, and then to each network's appropriate TACLANE device.
