More Product Information
The B.SAFE is a crash-survivable flight data recording for board defense aviation aircraft and helicopters.
B.SAFE is designed to capture audio, video, and data on a Crash Survivable Memory stored in a rugged and highly compact chassis. You can easily replay the recorded data in a standard PC/Windows® environment using post-mission analysis software.
Sensors acquisition and recording for troubleshooting is a cumbersome process in a fully furnished or operational aircraft, especially when time and low footprint are key drivers.
This is no more the case with Safran new solution µMA:
- its cylindrical form factor allows easy installation by just requiring a standard clamp used to mount tubes
- its battery power supply and its wireless connectivity removes the need of installing any harness in the aircraft.
All these capabilities are available while providing high measuring performance and harsh environment ruggedized in line with Safran standard solutions.
The CORTEX RSR-RF (-40 or -200) stands as a digital recorder that plays a vital role in capturing and reproducing the RF analog signal received by the antenna before any processing occurs.
It’s an essential component in a Telemetry Station, ensuring the utmost availability of crucial data, particularly in cases where on-board recording is not feasible.
Data collected in-flight offers extensive post-processing flexibility. You can fine-tune various settings in the receiver, the bit synchronizer, and the decommutator to maximize the extraction of data, a feat achievable only with RF recording. Furthermore, it serves as an invaluable tool for test range qualification ahead of test flights.
The SPARTE 300 series antenna is a battle-tested product that has consistently delivered top-tier performance for mission-critical applications where reliable telemetry reception is paramount. This rugged antenna guarantees our customers the utmost precision, a long operational life, and straightforward maintenance.
The SPARTE 300 series opens up a world of possibilities for users, ranging from aircraft tracking and high-speed target monitoring to duplex datalinks with both receiving and transmitting capabilities.
Furthermore, the extensive and customizable input/output options empower users to operate multiple antennas in a coordinated, multi-site tracking setup. With all antennas, regardless of size, being effortlessly monitored, managed and controlled by using our TM Maestro software.
Acquire high quality images with accurate radiometry for LEO (Low Earth Observation) earth observation applications with 65 MP focal plane and control electronics. From a 500 km orbit, SEEING™ 230 Ident has 9 x 6 km2 swath, offering a 1.03m native Ground Sample Distance (GSD), and features a super-resolution optional mode providing 70cm GSD. Thanks to its unique design, SEEING™ 230 Ident has an ultra-low SWaP factor. It is made of advanced ceramic material for strength during launch and stability during operation in space. It is athermalized and gradient insensitive between -10°C to +50°C. It has a low mass, below 8kg, saving both platform and launch costs.
The SPARTE 900 series antenna stands as a testament to reliability and performance, tailored for mission-critical applications where telemetry reception is paramount. This field-proven product ensures accurate tracking of flying targets, such as aircraft or space launch vehicles, even at significant distances, thanks to its high gain and large aperture design.
The robust and durable construction of the SPARTE 900 series guarantees optimal performance in any scenario: an aluminum-alloy reflector for enhanced surface accuracy, SCM tracking feeds for dependable and precise tracking, and dual-drive motors for redundancy and no-backlash operation.
Additionally, the SPARTE 900 series comes equipped with a riser that integrates the Antenna Drive cabinet and any necessary equipment, allowing for optimal positioning in close proximity to the antenna.
The SafeLaunch-FTR is based on more than 20 years of skills and experience. Such Flight Termination Receivers equip air to air, ground to air and air to ground missiles as well as UAV, target drones and Launch Vehicles. They are qualified under MIL-STD-810F and MIL-STD-461E standards, and comply to RCC-319. The compact and optimized package is consistent in size and weight with the most severe requirements of missile platforms. The electronical design, based on the latest generation of Software Defined Radio (SDR) components, brings to SafeLaunch-FTR high reliabilty and evolutivity.
The CORTEX NuRoN Software Modem is the all-in-one satellite support solution, covering every step from check-out to in-orbit operations.
