The SPARTE e100 is a hybrid antenna addressing the telemetry applications in S-Band, including hypersonic test articles.

The antenna is a combination of an Electronic Beam Steering supporting any elevation from -5° up to +95° and a single-axis mechanical rotation of the patch panel providing unlimited azimuth. The patch panel’s size enables the SPARTE e100 to achieve telemetry reception performance comparable to that of a 1.2m diameter dual-axis antenna.

This is achieved with a significantly simpler mechanical design, ensuring easier maintenance throughout the antenna’s operational lifespan.

The SPARTE e100’s rapid tracking capabilities, reaching speeds of up to 60°/s in azimuth and virtually infinite in elevation, make it an ideal “lock-on” antenna.

The MDR system is your key to data collection in challenging, real-world airborne flight test scenarios. Its modular design allows it to seamlessly adapt to the full spectrum of test requirements, whether it’s a lightweight task or an extensive mission with diverse signals, environmental challenges, and lengthy recording periods.

A comprehensive range of signal interface modules, custom-tailored for various data sources and bus types, ensures that it’s ready to meet today’s demands and future requirements.

The D19-GT/-GTS Download Station ensures a secure and high-speed data download (via 40 Gbit Ethernet) from MDR or MDR-GT/-GTS storage media. Specifically designed for flight testing applications with demanding data rates and storage needs, the D19-GTS, when paired with MDR-GTS, incorporates advanced cybersecurity features like Data-At-Rest (DAR) protection and firmware updates. Configuration changes are facilitated through a Removable Secure Operational Disk (RSOD).

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 SPARTE 500 series, commonly mounted with a 4.4 reflector, is a top-of-the-line dual-axis antenna that spans dish sizes from 15 to 18 feet. This field-proven telemetry tracking antenna has been trusted by customers for their most mission-critical applications.

With a widespread presence on test ranges around the world, the SPARTE 500 series antennas excel in meeting the rigorous demands of various flight test scenarios, whether it’s for long-range aircraft, missiles or launch vehicles tests.

These antennas offer a streamlined design, ensuring easy operation and making them a perfect fit for any ground test range, working hand in hand with smaller range trackers.

The N-CUBE comes as a unique solution that combines GNSS signal processing and RF front-ends. It implements the latest state-of-the-art positioning and synchronization techniques, to reach top class of performances for Real-Time Precise Onboard Orbit Determination (P2OD) and accurate time synchronization.

The Mobile Telemetry Rack (MTR) integrates state-of-the-art telemetry capabilities utilizing the RTR-X4 & GMDR recorder providing the ideal portable telemetry checkout system, able to receive demodulation, record, process and display your data throughout your system development.

Based on the Cortex architecture, the 4U chassis-based CORTEX RTR-X4 can support up to four channels providing the utmost flexibility and capability a Telemetry Receiver can achieve.

The GMDR Chapter 7 recorder fits particularly well for the flight test support where operability and flexibility is essential. Not only the does the Telemetry rack provide a rich set of features, the Dell Server comes with the standard Safran software tools you expect: D4 Recorder, C10 Extract, eZ Viewer Data Verification and Quick Look Software.

Additionally, multiple projects can be supported by just swapping out the OS & media drives in support of classified projects.

The NS1310 is a robust, compact data server and storage unit specifically designed for the challenging conditions of airborne environments.

This versatile system functions as a Network Attached Storage (NAS) unit and is equipped with a high-capacity Removable Memory Module (RMM).

The ENERTEC™ mission data processing and distribution units offer cost-effective and dependable solutions for field and mission data tasks, such as data acquisition, processing, storage, exploitation, and distribution. These units are suitable for use on both manned and unmanned ground, air, and sea vehicles. They undergo rigorous validation and formal qualification testing, adhering to standard test methods like DO-160 and MIL-STD-810.

The MDR-GT / GTS is the ultra-fast on-board flight test (16 Gbps) instrumentation solution. The MDR family is technically based on a common mainframe with many high-end built-in interfaces and functions. The MDR-GT / GTS is highly customizable: functions and requirements can be addressed by adding dedicated interface modules, offering a variety of configuration options for all applications and requirements (MDR modules compatibility). Because Cybersecurity is key, the MDR-GTS has been built with secure functions: Data-At-Rest (FIPS 140-2), Key Access Management, Removable Non-Volatile Memory.
