TSEC/KYV-5 (TACTERM) is an Advanced Narrowband Digital Voice Terminal (ANDVT), intro­duced in 1980 by the US National Security Agency (NSA) and manufactured by ITT Industries (ITT). Used for secure voice and data communication over narrow- and wideband radio channels, it is inter­operable with the other members of the ANDVT-family, such as the KY-99. The KYV-5 was mainly used by the US Navy.
