More Product Information

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

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.

XONOS enabling high data volume downlink between satellite & ground station. It is our latest state-of-the-art qualified COTS based design perfectly adapted to NewSpace programs, where cost effectiveness, performances and reliability are success key factors.

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.

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 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.

eZ Viewer is a data post-flight replay software for use with mission data based on IRIG-106 Chapter 10 format, recorded on ENERTEC recorder/server. This software is an easy-to-use, quick setup and intuitive tool targeted for data replay.
Key Features Comprehensive software tool for:
- Configuration of mission debriefing post-flight debriefing / mission analysis
- Data from on the media or archived
Intuitive interface:
- Pre-configuration of display
- Easy to use and quick setup
- SQUADRON mode

The Mission Recorder Cockpit Remote Control Unit is mounted in a cockpit dashboard and connect to a recorder system. The MCRCR shows status information on the NVG compatible display and can remote control the Mission Recorder System.
