AN/CYZ-10

Back 17

- Capable of receiving, storing, and transferring data from ANCD to ANCD, from ANCD
to SINCGARS radios, and from ANCD to other compatible communications/electronic
equipment. The ANCD is used primarily for handling of COMSEC keys, FH data, sync
time, and signal operating instructions (SOI) information.
- A typical ANCD data load at the operator level consists of two loadsets (COMSEC keys
and FH data for all six radio channels), each good for 30 days of operation, plus 60
days of SOI information, structured in five ten-day editions, containing two 5-day sets each.

o When used for a single or special purpose, an ANCD can store as many as 20 load
sets (COMSEC and FH data), and two or more division-wide editions (10 days each).
The number of smaller unit SOI editions that can be stored in an ANCD depends
entirely on the size of the SOI extract.
o An ANCD will also store as many as 120 COMSEC keys (traffic encryption key [TEK]
or key encryption key [KEK]), or 280 transmission security keys (TSKs).
