Safran Defense & Space (formerly Safran Data Systems, Inc.)

We provide through HEIM brand data acquisition units (XMA) and recorders (MDR). A complete set of products for reliable, high-performance data acquisition and recording for flight tests on any type of platform (transport aircraft, fighter, helicopters, UAVs, eVTOL, etc.)

We offer a complete range of products to track, receive, record and process Telemetry from test articles. Whether you need a standalone equipment or a turnkey system, we have a solution to support fixed, transportable, shipborne or airborne applications. We offer tracking antennas ranging from 1 to 9 meters, receivers, recorders/reproducers, best source selectors, decommutators and display solutions.

The best Commercial-Off-The-Shelf solution for Missile Testing. Our Data Acquisition Unit benefits from a common highly ruggedized platform specially designed for the extreme environment of Missiles while keeping high quality and accurate measurements.

Even in very demanding & harsh environment, we provide the most ruggedized Data Acquisition Unit supporting Launch Vehicles which demand absolute reliability and precise data integrity.

We provide TT&C modems for all types of RF satellites on orbit (LEO, MEO, GEO) enabling monitoring, Command & Control (C2) and for testing before launch.

We offer a selection of Space Tracking Antennas and high data rate modems (CORTEX HDR) for demodulating, decoding and storing of RF downlink signals.

We offer full ranges of products (antennas, modems) and services (tracking and monitoring) for Research & Development, Space Programs and Space Awareness.

We offer 24/7/365 global coverage services to track GEO satellites transmitting in C, Ku bands.

We provide airborne digital missions recorders & servers, and associated products to complete our offer to meet the most demanding missions requirements, on the ground, in the air and at sea. They are robust, modular and reliable, providing state-of-the-art technology for pilot training, mission debriefing, surveillance, search and rescue.

We design innovative instruments dedicated to Astronomy, Space, Defense and Laser Industry. Our optomechanical components (mirror, lenses assemblies) meet the most demanding requirements of international scientific programs for world-wide customers and for the main world Space Agencies.

For more sustainable satellites and spacecraft, we offer a complete range of: electric motors (wide range of plasma thrusters to increase satellite payloads, while reducing launch and operating costs) and propulsion subsystems: complete propulsion subsystems including PPS® Hall effect plasma thrusters, the fluid control system and the electronic power processing unit (PPU), while also taking charge of all required interfaces.

Safran manufactures radio communication equipment for small satellite platforms (mini, micro, nano-cube satellites) in low earth orbit for Earth observation missions or exploration of the solar system. Safran’s catalog is the largest on the market, with high data rate transmitters, TT&C – ISL transponders, precise GNSS receivers, data collect payloads, spectrum monitoring payloads and OCXOs.
