ARES (formerly IRIS) from Safran Defense & Space, Inc. (formerly Safran Data Systems, Inc.) represents the next-gen in transportable antenna systems. Packed in portable cases for easy handling, ARES can be shipped using standard methods and be fully operational in under an hour in the field, standing by to support satellites. Utilizing a reliable pedestal design and a dual-band concentric feed, ARES antenna ensures pinpoint accuracy and top-notch antenna performance. Crafted from standard (LRU) parts, it’s a breeze to maintain and service on-site, guaranteeing maximum uptime for all satellite missions. Combined with the SATCORE combo box (Command/Control modem & high-rate receiver) and the TM MAESTRO Monitoring & Control software, ARES is the all-in-one portable satellite tracking system.

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.

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.

Safran Ground Station is a turnkey ground segment solution with all required equipment and ground tools to proceed with removable media preparation and post-mission data retrieval and replay.

Key components are: 

• Rugged Heavy duty Laptop PC for military environment 
• RMM (Removable Memory Module) Docking Stations capable of reading up to 4 cartridges simultaneously, especially useful for mass debriefing. 
• Ground software suite (RMM Manager, eZ Viewer, MUST), very intuitive and user-friendly interface, for replay and exploitation of data while allowing customizable configuration of the display for mission debriefing. 
• Ruggedized Trolley Suitcase specifically adapted for the transport of the whole Ground Station.

This ground station, tested and approved by Safran before delivery, helps to accelerate the deployment on every integration Labs, Air Bases, and can be safely transported between different locations and environments

XONOS enabling high data volume downlink between satellite & ground station. It is our latest state-of-the-art qualified COTS based design perfectly adapted to NewSpace programs, where cost effectiveness, performances and reliability are success key factors.

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 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.

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 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.
