Safran Electronics & Defense: A World Leader in Optronics, Avionics, Electronics and Critical Software
Safran Electronics & Defense is a global leader in the development and production of high-tech solutions for optronics, avionics, electronics and critical software. With a strong presence in both civil and military markets, Safran's innovative products span land, naval, aeronautical and space applications. The company's cutting-edge technology allows operational teams to observe, decide and guide with precision all over the world.
Founded in 2005 as Sagem Défense Sécurité by the merger of SAGEM SA (Société d'Applications Générales de l'Électricité et de la Mécanique) with Snecma's defense activities (now Safran Aircraft Engines), Safran Electronics & Defense has since become one of the most respected names in the industry. The company has its headquarters located at Paris-Le Bourget Airport.
Safran's optronics solutions are designed to provide advanced imaging capabilities for both day and night operations. These include thermal imagers for land vehicles such as tanks or armored personnel carriers; airborne surveillance systems that can detect targets from long distances; observation systems for naval vessels that can track multiple targets simultaneously; and even helmet-mounted displays for pilots.
In addition to optronics solutions, Safran also offers avionics products that are essential to modern aircraft. These include flight control systems that help pilots maintain safe flight paths; navigation equipment such as GPS receivers or inertial measurement units (IMUs); communication systems like radios or satellite phones; weather radar sensors which provide real-time information about weather conditions ahead of an aircraft’s path.
The company also provides electronic warfare solutions which protect against enemy attacks on electronic devices used by military forces. This includes jamming devices which disrupt enemy communications signals or radar emissions; countermeasures against incoming missiles or other threats using infrared sensors mounted on aircraft wings or fuselages.
Critical software is another area where Safran excels. Its expertise lies in developing software applications that are essential to mission-critical operations such as air traffic control systems used by airports around the world; command-and-control centers operated by military forces during combat situations where decisions must be made quickly based on real-time data feeds from various sources including satellites orbiting Earth.
One of Safran’s most notable achievements was its involvement with Airbus’ A380 superjumbo jet program – specifically designing electrical wiring harnesses used throughout this massive plane’s structure – making it one of the largest commercial airliners ever built!
With over 15 years’ experience providing high-tech solutions across multiple industries worldwide - including aerospace/defense sectors - it’s no wonder why so many companies trust their business needs with this industry leader!
