Advanced INFOSEC Machine (AIM)
GD's Family of Advanced Core Cryptographic Technologies
The Advanced INFOSEC Machine (AIM) is a programmable, embeddable security engine for communications equipment requiring high-grade cryptographic processing. The state-of-the-art AIM chip provides a secure, certified hardware platform that supports interoperability with legacy equipment, as well as modern network-centric systems. AIM II is the next generation successor to the Advanced INFOSEC Machine (AIM).
- NSA Certified
- Multi-security level architecture
- Extensible design supports up to 500 Mbps
- Low power, high performance, fully programmable
- Interoperable with legacy and future systems
AIM Features
AIM II is the next generation successor to the Advanced INFOSEC Machine (AIM). Specifically developed for the Joint Tactical Radio Systems (JTRS) Handheld, Manpack and Small Form Fit (HMS), AIM II enhances many of AIM's proven features like total programmability and adds new capabilities to ease integration into new developments. AIM II is code compatible with AIM so that current investments in AIM-based platforms can be leveraged.
- NSA Certified
- Multi-security level architecture
- Support for single and multi-channel embedments
