The Viasat KG-255XJ is a next-generation End Cryptographic Unit (ECU) designed to protect Telemetry, Tracking, and Commanding (TT&C) and mission data in Satellite Operation Centers (SOCs) at levels of up to TS/SCI. With a lower SWaP footprint and greater throughput than its predecessor, it supports existing algorithms, format and features such as Command Spacing Stamp (CSS), Cypher Text (CT) Inversion, and traffic statistics.
The software-programmable and upgradeable unit can be seamlessly integrated into existing network infrastructure using standard Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, and features six independent channels that can be configured for encryption or decryption with various algorithms and modes. Encryption and decryption channels each have aggregate throughput of 900 Mbps (1800 Mbps total).
