<p>Airbus Defence and Space (Outdoor Exhibit 13) has been awarded separate contracts to extend the use of its LKMS (local key management system) cryptographic technology to three more types in Britain’s Royal Air Force inventory. Already employed by the Typhoon and A400M, LKMS will be installed in the Lockheed Martin F-35B, C-130J Hercules and Voyager tanker/transport. </p>
<p>The LKMS technology allows cryptographic key packages to be loaded into the aircraft’s system using a single fill gun into the ECUs (end crypto units). The LKMS also permits the storage of multiple cryptographic keys, providing for prolonged out-of-area operations. </p>
