The headquarters of Safran Electronics & Defense Spain is located in Granada and operates as a customer-focused company with more than 15 years of experience in the Spanish market and specialized in Resilient Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (R-PNT) solutions, encompassing both products and services. The company brings extensive expertise in embedded systems, sub-nanosecond time transfer (White Rabbit - IEEE-1588-2019-HA), low phase noise frequency distribution, GNSS simulation, and Inertial Navigation Systems for reliable applications in Aerospace, Defense, Government (ADG), and critical infrastructure sectors such as Fintech, data centers, or science projects.
The company participates from early stages in diverse scientific infrastructures (particle accelerators and distributed radio-astronomy facilities) in Time and Synchronization, as well as frequency distribution.
Our contribution in different scientific infrastructures is the creation of break-through solutions for timing and for advanced control systems and diagnosis in particle accelerators. Among them it is worth mentioning developments such as LLRF, BPM or timing system based on White Rabbit.
Within the particular competences for scientific facilities, the following should be highlighted:
- Design and manufacturing of advanced electronic products: PCBs, Time and RF distribution equipment, costumizable and safety critical platforms.
- Embedded systems programming: DSPs & SoC software, FPGA gateware, drivers development, costumizable firmware for safety-criticial and industrial applications.
- Fast control and system integration: including Hardware (VME, CPCIe, mictroTCA) and Fast Feedback Control System Using FPGA for RF Signals
- Software for control system and remote control based on EPICS
Furthermore, SED Spain solutions for science includes Quantum capabilities for compuation and secure data transmission, photonics components and hybrid data & quantum space systems based on disruptive FSOC technologies.
