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
- Solve machine vision applications efficiently by constructing flowcharts instead of writing program code, using field-proven tools for analyzing, classifying, locating, measuring, reading and verifying
- Use a single program for creating both application logic and operator interface
- Leverage deep learning for visual inspection through image classification and segmentation tools
- Rely on a common underlying vision library for the same results with an Iris GTX smart camera, vision systems or third-part computer
- Work with multiple cameras all within the same project or per project running concurrently and independently from one another, platform permitting
- Interface to Zebra AltiZ and third party 3D sensors to visualize, process and analyze depth maps and point clouds
- Communication options include discrete Zebra I/Os, RS-232, and Ethernet (TCP/IP, CC-Link IE Field Basic, EtherNet/IP, Modbus, OPC UA, and PROFINET, and native robot interfaces)
- Maximize productivity with instant feedback on image analysis and processing operations
- Receive immediate pertinent assistance through an integrated contextual guide
- Maintain control and independence through the ability to create custom flowchart steps
- Test communication with PLC using the built-in PLC interface emulator
- Protect against inappropriate changes with the Project Change Validator tool
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.
