What replaced CYZ 10?

PYQ-10 Simple Key Loader
From 2006 onwards, the CYZ-10 was gradually being replaced by newer devices, such as the PYQ-10 Simple Key Loader (SKL) and the Secure DTD2000 System (SDS), the latter of which is running on the Windows CE™ operating system.

What did the SKL replace?

The SKL was designed and built by Ralph Osterhout and then sold to Sierra Nevada Corporation, with software developed by Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) under the auspices of the United States Army. It is intended to supplement and eventually replace the AN/CYZ-10 Data Transfer Device (DTD).

What is comsec army?

What is an AN/CYZ-10 Data Transfer Device?

The AN/CYZ-10 Data Transfer Device, often called a Filler, Crazy 10, ANCD or DTD, is a United States National Security Agency -developed, portable, hand-held fill device, for securely receiving, storing, and transferring data between compatible cryptographic and communications equipment.

Does the AN/CYZ-10 support the DS-101 and DS-102 interfaces?

The AN/CYZ-10 supports both the DS-101 and DS-102 interfaces. The DTD weighs about 4 lb (1.8 kg) and is designed to be fully compatible with future INFOSEC equipment meeting DS-101 signaling and benign fill standards.

What is a DTD (digital data device)?

The DTD was developed in the early 1990s, weighs about 4 lb (1.8 kg), and is designed to be fully compatible with future INFOSEC equipment meeting DS-101 signaling and benign fill standards. It will eventually replace the legacy family of CFDs, including the KYK-13, KYX-15 electronic storage devices, and the KOI-18 paper tape reader.
