Safran DSI - CORTEX BEST SOURCE SELECTOR Select the Best Telemetry Source in Real-Time
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.

More Product Information
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.
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.
