Voice and data encryption unit · ANDVT - this page is a stub - wanted item

TSEC/KY-100 (AIRTERM) 1 is an Advanced Narrowband Digital Voice Terminal (ANDVT), intro­duced in 1994 by the US National Security Agency (NSA) and manufactured by ITT Industries (ITT). It was intended for airborne and shipborne voice and data communication over narrow- and wideband radio channels, and is interoperable with other members is the ANDVT-family. In addition, it is backward compatible with the wideband KY-58 (VINSON), which it replaces. It is also known as NSN 5810-01-376-1380.

The KY-100 can be seen as the airborne version of the KY-99.
