Secure Network Connectivity Solutions & IFF Mode 5 Encryptor Devices for Military & Government UAVs & Unmanned Systems

Viasat is a leading developer of secure connectivity solutions for military and government UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) and unmanned systems. As a global communications company, we power millions of fast, resilient connections for military forces around the world in the air, on the ground, and at sea, striving to reach every warfighter, platform, and node in the battlespace.

secure connectivity solutions for military and government UAVsWe have developed a range of network and IFF Mode 5 encryptor devices that are designed to ensure the highest level of security for mission-critical UAVs even at the tactical edge. These cutting-edge certified solutions protect classified data and communications up to Top Secret level, and are designed to withstand the harshest of battlefield operating conditions.

Our products have been incorporated into a wide variety of fixed-wing, rotary-wing, vehicular and UAV platforms.

Crypto Appliqué for Mode 5 IFF

KIV-79 IFF Mode 5

NSA-certified security for Identification Friend or Foe Mode 5

KIV-79 NSA-certified security for IFF Mode 5The KIV-79 is a low-SWaP (size, weight and power) crypto appliqué module that provides NSA-certified cryptographic capabilities for Mark XIIA Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) Mode 5 transponders. The compact NSA Type 1 product is designed for Secret and below interrogator and transponder functions, and is ideal for a wide range of UAV platforms.

The module is fully programmable and software-upgradeable, and features a field-replaceable battery that offers a lifetime of over 7 years.
