More Product Information

The RTR-X4 is one of the most advanced digital telemetry receivers on the market with its well-recognized RF performance and signal processing capability.
The 4U chassis-based RTR-X4 can support up to four channels providing flexibility and capability as well as a rich set of features for different frequency bands, modulations, decoders and output formats.
Not only does the CORTEX RTR provide an extensive set of features for different frequency bands, modulations, decoders and output formats, but the user can easily upgrade the equipment in the field to access additional and new features. The RTR-X4 is an excellent fit for flight test ranges, offering full flexibility and easy access to settings through its user-friendly GUI on the embedded 8.4-inch screen.

eZ Processing is the solution for telemetry data processing, analysis and display (real time or playback). It allows the capture of the data either from a PCM signal or directly through data sent on Ethernet (IRIG 106 Chapter 10) by the receiver.
It performs the frame synchronization, Engineering Unit conversion, data display and storage, as well as data subset dissemination to dedicated analysis tools. It can accommodate multiple display stations, each having selectable parameters and displays. When used in a system with Safran Defense & Space, Inc. (formerly Safran Data Systems, Inc.) data acquisition units like the XMA or MDR, the software parameter database is automatically updated by eZ configuration software, reducing the set-up time and preventing all errors.

The VS1510 is a video & data recorder/server packaged in a rugged compact chassis (4.92” x 5.75” x 7.28 ” / 9.9 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 collecting, processing, storing, utilizing, and sharing field and mission data.
These units are designed for both manned and unmanned ground, air, and sea vehicles. They undergo rigorous validation and formal qualification testing, conforming to established standards such as DO-160 and MIL-STD-810.

Safran’s SEEING™ 130 Wide includes a unique medium focal length catadioptric optics, limited by diffraction only and with ultra-low distortion, offering perfect imaging over 35 mm full-frame image format. It is fitted with a 10megapixel sensor.
SEEING™ 130 Wide enables high Signal to Noise Ratio for multispectral (MS), hyperspectral (HS) and low light level imaging. SEEING™ 130 Wide includes a spectral filter with 23 bands covering Blue, Green, Red, Near InfraRed and Red Edge MS, for a broad spectral range between 475 and 900nm. SEEING™ 130 Wide has a large Field of View of 6.3° x 4.3° / 54 x 36 km2 from a 500km/310 miles orbit.
In addition to its a thermal design within a robust structure, SEEING™ 130 Wide has a low SWaP, saving launch and operational costs.

The N-SPHERE comes as a new generation of GNSS receiver. 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 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.

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

The SPARTE 1300 series antenna is a tried-and-tested solution designed for mission-critical applications where reliable telemetry reception is essential. This antenna excels at accurately tracking flying targets, such as aircraft or space launch vehicles, even over long distances, thanks to its high-gain, large-aperture design.
Built with a robust and sturdy construction, the SPARTE 1300 series guarantees optimal performance in any scenario. It features an aluminum-alloy reflector for enhanced surface accuracy, SCM tracking feeds for dependable and precise tracking, and quad-drive motors for redundancy and no-backlash operation.
