The KGV-72 enables the FBCB2-BFT system to encrypt and transmit sensitive information network traffic and is also fully interoperable with the next version of FBCB2-BFT software, the Joint Capability Release (JCR).
The FBCB2-BFT platforms and network operations centres provide commanders with situational awareness and battle command capabilities while also supporting the operational requirements of the US Army.
The company will manufacture the devices at its facilities in Rochester, New York, US.
