Safran DSI - HEIM microMA Wireless Micro Modular Data Acquisition & Recording
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.

With automated sensors for detection and tracking, stay well-informed 24 hour, every day of the year.
Our patented technology, designed for passive satellite emissions reception, provides comprehensive coverage of all orbits, boasting multiple networks deployed in the United States, Europe, and Asia. WeTrack® grants real-time access to information through a secure web portal.

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.

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.

X-LITE (EWC27) has been designed with for small satellites flying in Low Earth Orbit. One of the main challenges is low consumption of radio communication links. X-LITE (EWC27) offers high data rate telemetry and robust X band transmission.

The MDR-GT / GTS is the ultra-fast on-board flight test (16 Gbps) instrumentation solution. The MDR family is technically based on a common mainframe with many high-end built-in interfaces and functions. The MDR-GT / GTS is highly customizable: functions and requirements can be addressed by adding dedicated interface modules, offering a variety of configuration options for all applications and requirements (MDR modules compatibility). Because Cybersecurity is key, the MDR-GTS has been built with secure functions: Data-At-Rest (FIPS 140-2), Key Access Management, Removable Non-Volatile Memory.

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).

The CORTEX RSR-RF (-40 or -200) stands as a digital recorder that plays a vital role in capturing and reproducing the RF analog signal received by the antenna before any processing occurs.
It’s an essential component in a Telemetry Station, ensuring the utmost availability of crucial data, particularly in cases where on-board recording is not feasible.
Data collected in-flight offers extensive post-processing flexibility. You can fine-tune various settings in the receiver, the bit synchronizer, and the decommutator to maximize the extraction of data, a feat achievable only with RF recording. Furthermore, it serves as an invaluable tool for test range qualification ahead of test flights.

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.

With its compact and rugged design, CMA is a perfect fit for data acquisitions in challenging environments and tight spaces.
CMA boasts the smallest size per channel, providing versatile acquisition modules to customize instrumentation for specific missile or New Space use cases. These acquisition modules enable software configuration in the field for each channel type.
Offering on-board processing, recording, hardware customization, GPS localization, and a built-in transmitter, CMA allows for an all-in-one-box solution.
CMA delivers advanced signal and acquisition conditioning, bus monitoring, recording, and transmission, all while reducing integration time, cost, and risk.
