More Product Information

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.

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.

TM MAESTRO provides a comprehensive and centralized solution for monitoring and controlling telemetry infrastructure worldwide.
Designed to meet the critical needs of telemetry operators, this software offers a user-configurable GUI that adapts to various user profiles and mission phases, from preparation to live flight tests and station maintenance. TM MAESTRO is scalable and easily accommodates new telemetry equipment, allowing for the addition of an unlimited number of components, from antennas to decommutators, making it a highly flexible system.

The ES9910 Ethernet switch/router, an advanced solution that offers seamlessly integrated, highly flexible, and fully managed LAN/VLAN connectivity for mission-critical systems.
This versatile technology serves onboard operations for both manned and unmanned ground, air, and sea vehicles, empowering them with top-notch networking capabilities.
The ENERTEC™ mission data processing and distribution units offer cost-effective, dependable solutions for acquiring, processing, storing, utilizing, and distributing field and mission data.
These units undergo rigorous validation and formal qualification testing, adhering to standard test methods such as DO-160 and MIL-STD-810 to ensure their reliability and performance.

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 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.

COMTRACK stands as the preferred choice for over 100 trusted telemetry tracking operators.
Its track record spans various applications, from military aircraft and helicopters to commercial aircraft and even launch vehicles. COMTRACK steps in where larger, space-consuming parabolic systems may not be the best fit.
With its compact, rugged design, this embedded phased array auto-tracking antenna excels at providing reliable telemetry reception across L, S, or C-bands, covering the entire sky up to 93 miles away. Its intelligent integration combines high-elevation reception with long-range capabilities, all within a protective radome.
Additionally, it enables dual-band installations to support systems operating in both current and future frequency ranges. When it comes to trust, simplicity, and performance, COMTRACK takes the lead.

ARES (formerly IRIS) from Safran Defense & Space, Inc. (formerly Safran Data Systems, Inc.) represents the next-gen in transportable antenna systems. Packed in portable cases for easy handling, ARES can be shipped using standard methods and be fully operational in under an hour in the field, standing by to support satellites. Utilizing a reliable pedestal design and a dual-band concentric feed, ARES antenna ensures pinpoint accuracy and top-notch antenna performance. Crafted from standard (LRU) parts, it’s a breeze to maintain and service on-site, guaranteeing maximum uptime for all satellite missions. Combined with the SATCORE combo box (Command/Control modem & high-rate receiver) and the TM MAESTRO Monitoring & Control software, ARES is the all-in-one portable satellite tracking system.

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.
