MESP-100-2 NIST-Certified Encryption Device for ARTM Telemetry Applications

The new MESP-100-2 Encryption Support Package is a three module set that provides a PCM encoder interface, ARTM transmitter interface and an optional cryptographic Key Management software package. The module set is ideal for use in missile telemetry and test, flight test, and aircraft monitoring applications. It is the industry’s first National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)-certified encryption solution for protecting streaming telemetry data originating from modern Advanced Range Telemetry (ARTM) transmitters.

At nearly ¼ the size of the U.S. standard device, this highly integrated solution adds modern features while significantly reducing size, weight and power (SWaP) requirements. When integrated with Curtiss-Wright data acquisition unit (DAU) hardware, the MESP-100-2 reduces design risk and further reduces SWaP by eliminating redundant cabling and power supplies.

Designed to be fully backward compatible with PCM encoders and ARTM transmitters, the MESP-100-2 provides a PCM clock and data electrical interface, a key fill interface, data isolation and three ampere power isolation for separation between the encoder and a digital telemetry transmitter or recorder. The fully rugged module set has undergone full flight test environment qualification.
