IRIS optical ground stations are built to cater to a wide range of applications (LEO/GEO/Probes), including Earth observation, high throughput bi-directional telecommunications, feeder link, or deep space missions. The IRIS systems leverage the Cortex Lasercom, a globally recognized optical modem that supports various standards such as SDA, CCSDS, and HPE.

Our modular data acquisition unit, the XMA-ROTOR, brings cutting-edge module technology to the specialized mechanical housing designed for rotor head instrumentation.
Say goodbye to outdated slip ring technology – the XMA-ROTOR revolutionizes the game by offering a completely wireless and contactless connection between the rotor and the stator.
Power is transmitted through inductive coupling, while data, health monitoring info, configuration data, and synchronization signals are transferred over a bi-directional radio link.

The VS1410 is a video & data recorder/server packaged in a rugged compact chassis (3.75” x 5.75” x 7.36” / 6.4 lb), for recording on a Removable Memory Module (RMM).
Recorded data can be replayed in a standard PC/Windows® environment, using specific or COTS mission debrief solutions for post mission analysis. In addition, typically for ISR applications, data can be replayed while recording on board.
The ENERTEC™ mission data processing and distribution units offer cost-effective and dependable solutions for acquiring, processing, storing, exploiting, and disseminating field and mission data.
These units are suitable for both manned and unmanned ground, air, and sea vehicles. They undergo rigorous validation and formal qualification testing, adhering to standard test methods such as DO-160 and MIL-STD-810.

With its small and high ruggedized design, XMA is the best fit for remote data acquisitions in harsh and small space areas.
It is the perfect candidate for network telemetry applications and remote acquisitions, to reduce the wire intrusiveness, and acquire the data closer to the sensors.
XMA also allows data recording, data processing, GPS localization and data transmission. XMA has the smallest size/channel types ratio, and proposes optimized module set for a large number of data type acquisitions, with state-of-the-art accuracy.
A complete set of status and health information of the unit is remotely available for live monitoring and accurate data qualifiers.
