Technologies to enhance mission superiority for the modern warfighter

GAIN THE TACTICAL EDGE WITH ENHANCED MISSION SUPERIORITY

In order to understand the operation environment, accurate intel needs to be available on persons, static or moving objects and installations. Only then a valid decision can be taken. All possible actions need also to be evaluated within the legal framework and ROEs. This will only be achieved when all sensor information is extremely precise and target location is highly accurate.

Listening to our customers and to draw the right conclusions is what we do. Questioning our own solutions on a regular basis, being one step ahead, pushing boundaries to the technically feasible limits, that’s what we understand by being fast and flexible.

Our objective: offer technologies that drive you forward.

Engineering know-how with direct impact on your mission. At Safran we are proud that our engineering teams have one objective: to put themselves in your shoes as the operator of our solutions and take your perspective. This leads to world-best SWaPC engineering capabilities.

What our engineering know-how does for your mission

01
SWaPC in focus – Miniaturization of sensors
Developing smaller sensors, nevertheless always more powerful, is one of our specialties. Smaller sensors lead to more compact, lighter devices. Lighter devices in return allow better fatigue-free observation tasks and free weight that can be used for other important equipment.
02
Stay connected – Devices with best connectivity options
Our SMARTAC solutions lead the way with the latest connectivity options like Wifi, Bluetooth 5.1, Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet. Transfer images or stream video in real time. Connect to BMS/ FCC, ATAK and ballistic solvers like Kestrel and Garmin or remote control a device.
03
Intuitive handling – HMI Design
You can always rely on the most intuitive design when using our equipment. This is of greatest importance, when things get  rough. Then there is no time to think twice how a certain function can be found and which information needs to be communicated: it just needs to be intuitive, even without training every other day.
04
Outperform – Optimized Power Consumption
Our engineers dig deep into the field of energy optimization. Low energy consumption of the integrated components allows for much longer runtime and less need to change batteries. On a mission, you don’t want to fill your bags with batteries, but with relevant equipment.
05
MIL-Spec design
All devices and build in components are specified according to MIL-STD 810 and MIL-STD 461. We test our devices to the limits and they will even withstand harshest the conditions and use beyond the standards.
