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.

The NS1310 is a robust, compact data server and storage unit specifically designed for the challenging conditions of airborne environments.

This versatile system functions as a Network Attached Storage (NAS) unit and is equipped with a high-capacity Removable Memory Module (RMM).

The ENERTEC™ mission data processing and distribution units offer cost-effective and dependable solutions for field and mission data tasks, such as data acquisition, processing, storage, exploitation, and distribution. These units are suitable for use on both manned and unmanned ground, air, and sea vehicles. They undergo rigorous validation and formal qualification testing, adhering to standard test methods like DO-160 and MIL-STD-810.

The PPS®5000, produced by Safran Spacecraft Propulsion, is a Hall Effect Thruster purposely designed for “all-electric” satellites. It can operate in high-thrust or high specific impulse mode,and offers an operating lifespan of about 20,000 hours. This means it can handle orbital positioning and station-keeping duties for a wide range of telecom and navigation satellites, as well as exploration spacecraft. The PPS®5000 was fully qualified in 2021.

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.

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.

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.

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 CORTEX RTR-X1 (formerly RX-1) is a compact, dual-channel telemetry receiver with a pre-D combiner, designed to span all IRIG frequency bands and conform to IRIG-specified modulations. 

This off-the-shelf (COTS) product leverages the rock-solid CORTEX RTR technology components, inheriting their renowned RF performance and signal processing prowess. 

The RX-1 excels in test range scenarios, offering cutting-edge features to ensure maximum data accessibility. Trust the RX-1 for top-tier telemetry reception in challenging conditions.

The Mobile Telemetry Rack (MTR) integrates state-of-the-art telemetry capabilities utilizing the RTR-X4 & GMDR recorder providing the ideal portable telemetry checkout system, able to receive demodulation, record, process and display your data throughout your system development.

Based on the Cortex architecture, the 4U chassis-based CORTEX RTR-X4 can support up to four channels providing the utmost flexibility and capability a Telemetry Receiver can achieve.

The GMDR Chapter 7 recorder fits particularly well for the flight test support where operability and flexibility is essential. Not only the does the Telemetry rack provide a rich set of features, the Dell Server comes with the standard Safran software tools you expect: D4 Recorder, C10 Extract, eZ Viewer Data Verification and Quick Look Software.

Additionally, multiple projects can be supported by just swapping out the OS & media drives in support of classified projects.
