Safran DSI - SafeLaunch-FTR Flight Termination Receiver
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.

More Product Information

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.

STAR (EWC15-NG) is a new generation of transceiver for high performance Telemetry, Tracking & Command (TT&C) services. It inherits from the EWC15 products, that have been used in key space missions such as ROSETTA, DEEP IMPACT, PARASOL, MICROSCOPE.

The PPS®X00 plasma thruster (Hall effect) takes benefit of Safran’s long experience with electric propulsion to propose a very efficient product. PPS®X00 was designed to address the specific requirements inherent in the “New Space” market environment. With a lifespan exceeding 5,000 hours and very high specific impulse, the PPS®X00 is an extremely versatile thruster, making it ideal for all types of applications in its core market: low Earth orbit (LEO).

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 XMA-BOX packs top-notch XMA module technology into a cost-effective 1U package, delivering high performance. This versatile system handles the acquisition, processing, and streaming of both analog and digital signals in various instrumentation data formats.
Perfect for ground testing facilities, the XMA-BOX is also rugged enough to thrive in the diverse environmental conditions of small to large aircraft cabins.
Whether it’s used as a standalone unit or integrated into a larger Flight Test Instrumentation (FTI) system, the XMA-BOX is the go-to-choice for meeting a wide range of data acquisition needs, all while ensuring cutting-edge accuracy.

The PPS®1350 Hall Effet plasma thruster draws on Safran’s long experience with electric propulsion. It is designed for orbital transfer, station keeping and deorbiting satellites and other spacecraft. In particular, the PPS 1350 was the primary engine on ESA’s lunar probe, Smart-1, launched in 2003 by an Ariane 5 rocket. This mission was completed in September 2006.

The CORTEX Best Source Selector (BSS) is the ultimate choice for real-time telemetry source selection. It’s the go-to tool for pinpointing the best Telemetry source among multiple antennas tracking the same airframe across various channels.
The Best Source Selector streamlines the selection process by automatically choosing the top Telemetry stream, even from up to 16 sources or more, using a combination of signal quality metrics and other criteria. With its extensive capabilities in aligning paths and compensating for delays, the CORTEX Best Source Selector ensures optimal source selection, no matter where the antennas are located or what kind of range infrastructure you’re working with.

KapCOM (EWC33) is a new generation of transceivers with high performance Telemetry, Tracking & Command (TT&C) service. It is used on OneWeb constellation & is based on the heritage of EWC15 used in key space missions like ROSETTA, DEEP IMPACT, …

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).
