You challenge yourself and discover new ways to problem solve, as well as meet new people who will help guide you along the way. Sudeep has been with the company for three and a half years, two of those as an intern. From the start of his internship, Sudeep worked on assignments he would later be proficient in. “I learned a lot when I was an intern, and my manager taught me all. I am still learning a lot from my team members and my manager.” Due to his learning mindset, consistency, and effectiveness in the office, Sudeep accepted a full-time position with us. Being handed all the tools he needed to succeed in his role, transitioning from intern to IT Network Technician felt like a smooth shift. “I had lots of new responsibilities [when being an intern] and then added a lot of tasks to my job after the internship…I support all my end users on a daily basis and users usually put in the tickets and we reach out to them to get the tickets resolved and anyone having issues with the internet or computer we get them resolved. We support any new users coming in and offboarding when leaving.” Sudeep is passionate about his job and helping team members. Dannielle, one of our staff members who acknowledged Sudeep’s support, had some amiable words to say about him, “He is very knowledgeable about certain things that I didn't know as a newcomer. He’s an all-around good guy— we have a lot of them around here. If I have a problem, I know I can send him a note at night, in a panic, and he’s going to answer me. He’s very good at his job. We’re very lucky to have Sudeep.” With various tasks at hand and running around to help resolve issues, Sudeep’s days are full of keeping things running smoothly and team members satisfied. With a grin, he happily expressed, “I love my job. I like coming in to work every day. I like the team members here and we have a great culture.” From starting as an intern to graduating and landing a job at a company he enjoys working at, we know Sudeep’s journey will be filled with success and much to look forward to.

  • Succeeding Together: Q&A With VP of Human Resources | SafranFederalSystems

    Succeeding Together: Q&A With VP of Human Resources As we celebrate Women’s Month, we take this opportunity to recognize the women who are paving the way for future generations— especially in fields where they have been underrepresented. In this special feature, we sit down with Holly Cicconi-Eggleston, Vice President of Human Resources, where she shares valuable advice on advocating for yourself in the workplace, how we can help cultivate the next generation of women, and what Women's Month means to her. Get ready to grab a pen and paper because this Q&A will leave you with great advice and a different perspective you don't want to miss out on! Women often juggle many responsibilities, both in the workplace and personally. What can companies do to better support women in their work-life balance? "I am not a parent, but I have many friends who are parents or single parents. I cannot imagine the challenges they face every day or the difficult decisions that must be made in balancing family and work. While not every woman is a parent, women who choose to be a parent do have additional responsibilities just strictly because of biology. I read a post on LinkedIn several years back that resonated with me. I cannot recall the author’s name, but the topic stuck. While we strive for work-life balance, and as companies try to offer work-life balance, it is still a challenge for many. The author talked about work-life integration instead of work-life balance. In this regard, it identified that all our needs are different. Parents may need to leave early to get kids off the bus or to take the kids to soccer practice. An employee who doesn’t have kids may have an exercise class that is only offered at noon. Another employee may want to take classes that are only offered in the morning. The point was that whether you are a parent or not, our lives and what we fill our days with vary, and the integration of work and personal is more meaningful than just working less hours within the week. While companies must comply with statutory requirements, I think that shifting the mindset to work-life integration will be beneficial to all employees, not just women." What advice would you give to women who are trying to advocate for themselves—whether it's for promotions, equal pay, or leadership roles? "First and foremost, do it! My experience has been that most women are less likely to do this. While there may be many reasons, it is important to advocate for yourself! While I say this, this is also something that I have had to work on throughout my career. Early in my career, I was hesitant at times for various reasons. I thought I’d be seen as aggressive, ungrateful, impatient – all things that I perceived but were not the reality. As I grew in my career and having experiences that helped to shape who I am, I realized that the only person who can control my destiny is … me. While it certainly helps to have managers to support you in your career, you have to put yourself out there and be your loudest cheerleader. Stay true to yourself, always. If you remain authentic, you will not have regrets." What qualities do you believe will define the next generation of women leaders, and how can we help cultivate them? "This is a great question. I’m not sure that there will be different qualities in the next generation, but I do think that each generation is more courageous . When I look back at what was considered the “norm” when I was in high school versus what I see in today’s youth, I see more openness, acceptance, and perhaps advocacy. It is refreshing to see the growth in each generation and my hope is that this continues in a positive direction. We are still experiencing “first’s” which conveys that while progress has been made, there is still work to do. For the next generation of women leaders, we need to collectively support the advancement of women in fields that have been predominantly held by men. We need to nurture girls at an early age who express interest in STEM, as an example. We need to normalize that different styles of leadership and perspective are not only ok, but encouraged. Ultimately, it doesn’t matter what we want to do, the important consideration is to ensure we have mentors to help guide us in the path forward." What does National Women’s Month mean to you, and how do you hope it continues to evolve in the corporate world?   "National Women’s Month is a time to reflect on the past, understand where we are today, and see the road ahead of what still needs to be. My personal belief is that each of us needs to have mentors, and then, when in a position to do so, mentor others. I am fortunate to have had many great mentors in my career – both women and men and have worked diligently to make sure that I give back whenever I can. This helps us to succeed together. In corporate settings, it’s important to highlight accomplishments of the women who came before us – without them, we may not have succeeded. It’s also important to ensure that company practices are inclusive and evolve as the needs of the workforce evolve." Feeling inspired? Explore career opportunities at Safran Federal Systems CAREERS

  • SecureSync 2400 Ensuring Mission-Critical Time Synchronization

    Ensure mission-critical time synchronization with SecureSync 2400 time server. Military-grade, resilient PNT for navigating GNSS disruptions. Learn more! Home • PNT Library • SecureSync 2400 Ensuring Mission-Critical Time Synchronization SecureSync 2400 Ensuring Mission-Critical Time Synchronization DOWNLOAD PDF By Safran Federal Systems Time Synchronization Data is Foundational to PNT Performance Fundamentally, time synchronization is the alignment of independent clocks to the same time and frequency. It provides critical functionality for services that depend on precise, synchronized timing to manage device security, availability, and efficiency and supports a wide array of business and infrastructure systems. Defense time synchronization applications directly support warfighters in theater through vital Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) functionality. PNT applications leverage GNSS/GPS location data for navigation and precise timekeeping to support operational efficiency and seamless communications. As satellites continuously broadcast their own time and position information, receivers trilaterate, calculating the distance between the receiver and each satellite to determine position and time details for the end user and their equipment. This supports mission-critical communication, movement, and collaborative processes. In military PNT applications, time synchronization for defense requires the highest levels of accuracy and consistency for real-time operational support. In modern theaters, as Electronic Warfare (EW) domains become both more prevalent and more contested, warfighter operations dependent upon PNT functions are increasingly at risk. Escalating AI and machine-to-machine communications capabilities provide new tools for adversaries to disrupt PNT systems and operations and must be accounted for. Figure 1: GPS data provides continuous precise positioning and timekeeping. SecureSync 2400 Delivers Reliable PNT Data Across Domains As industry leaders in the PNT space, Safran Federal Systems (SFS) has developed the SecureSync 2400 - a GNSS time server with a layered-defense approach to address GNSS threats and maintain PNT integrity. In the SecureSync platform, threats are mitigated by building redundancy into the timing system architecture. Redundancy is achieved through the integration of high-performance internal oscillators and strong modularity with a choice of customizable input interfaces. This design approach makes the SecureSync 2400 highly resilient and adaptable. Figure 2: SFS Oscillator Performance Key capabilities of the SecureSync 2400 include: Multi-GNSS receiver built-in M-Code supported Multi-reference failover reliability Modular and scalable with option cards Built-in networking capabilities Comprehensive management and monitoring interfaces High availability with hot swap redundant power supply option Figure 3: SecureSync as an NTP Server and PTP Grandmaster. The platform leverages both Network Time Protocol (NTP) and Precision Time Protocol (PTP) for a diverse suite of use cases and applications. NTP applications are cost effective and software-driven internet solutions for general IT networks and database servers with millisecond accuracy . PTP applications are high-performance hardware solutions cast on local area networks (LAN) with much tighter tolerances offering microsecond accuracy. They are used for RF communications, radar systems, data transmission, power synchronization, and scientific instrumentation. In military applications, the SecureSync 2400 supports fundamental Command and Control and Datacenter operations. Command and Control : Requires resilient and accurate time and frequency to synchronize systems monitoring and control elements over the network, along with low phase noise frequency references for RF transmitters (radar). May also provide time and frequency for communications and test equipment (radio communications). Datacenter: Resilient and accurate network timing for single or multi-tenant networks. When defense time synchronization and PNT efforts are disrupted, warfighters can suffer communications failure, lose sight and tracking of equipment and personnel, and fail to execute. This risk becomes more pronounced without resilient PNT tools. A secure time server for defense applications, like the SecureSync 2400, mitigates the risk of disruption through an ecosystem of solutions to GNSS threats. Military-Grade Time Synchronization for Resilient PNT Performance For military- and defense-focused applications, time servers need to offer additional performance features beyond commercial NTP and PTP functionality. Resilient Securing time reference acquisition and timescale keeping during GNSS interference differentiates military from commercial applications. Military time servers need varied solutions to address dynamic threats in theater without performance loss. The SecureSync Interference Detection and Mitigation (IDM) suite builds an operational awareness into the solution to mitigate threats. Modular In military use cases, individual time servers generally need to be dynamic and customizable to support evolving threats and requirements while offering field serviceability. This is achieved through modular, open-system designs, like SecureSync, which provides more than 40 installable option cards for additional power and functionality. M-Code Enabled Encrypted M-Code signals provide unique operational benefits to warfighters including strengthened jamming resistance and anti-spoof capabilities. As such, M-Code integration has become a key feature of contemporary military time servers. The SecureSync 2400 is engineered to integrate with M-Code inputs for enhanced protection in challenged environments. Evolution of the SecureSync Platform As both the need for comprehensive time synchronization tools and GNSS threats evolve, the SecureSync time & frequency platform continues to develop. The SecureSync 2400 represents a step forward in resilient timing. The upgraded platform maintains compatibility with the previous SecureSync option card set and emphasizes a renewed focus on critical operations through: Network capability, security, redundancy, & monitoring to support critical operations An advanced SoC system architecture with increased processing capability Improved internal frequency performance and distribution Additionally, the SecureSync 2400 supports multiple NTP and PTP option cards and an ALTNAV module that are unavailable on the SecureSync 1200. Conclusion Warfighter domains are constantly evolving, bringing about new risks to communications and operations through GNSS threats. In order to mitigate these risks, operating forces can leverage military-grade time servers like the SFS SecureSync 2400. This reliable and resilient time server supports complex objectives in GNSS-challenged domains by providing accurate time signals that are critical for mission success. Equipped with powerful oscillators and a proven architecture, the SecureSync 2400 ensures time accuracy and continuity even in the face of GNSS disruptions. With its adaptable and redundant threat detection and mitigation strategy, this time server keeps operations secure and mission-critical tasks running smoothly. In conclusion, the SecureSync 2400 is designed to be Secure , Resilient , Monitored , and Scalable to perform now but also adapt to future GNSS challenges, making it an invaluable asset for military operations.

All of the data logged from connected receivers are saved to 20+ .csv files and the raw output data is saved as a binary file (.bin). The binary file that is created at the beginning of the session and closed when the receiver is disconnected, can be played back offline without the receiver being connected. Comprehensive Data Sets RxStudio provides a comprehensive set of data users to view, which is organized into several tabs. Nav Data Frame Typically where most users focus their attention within RxStudio. This tab provides the user with a real-time view of the GNSS receiver’s position, time, velocity, estimated errors, quality, DOP, key status, and SV tracking status. The SV tracking status shows what each active channel in the receiver is doing whether that be acquiring, tracking code, tracking code and carrier, or re-acquiring. Along with the track state, users can also see the SV#, code type being used, C/No, used, Azimuth, Elevation, Frequency, Assurance, PR residuals, Doppler, and phase of the tracking channel. This data is typically updated at a 1Hz rate (receiver depending) and is continuously logged for post-processing. Nav Data Plots Contains plots based on the receiver output over time. These plots include a position plot which is overlaid by google maps (while connected to the internet), velocity North-East-Down (NED), altitude, clock bias and drift graphs as well as a constellation color coded Satellite sky map. SV Books Shows the downlink data for the specific code and constellation your receiver is using: GPS, GLONASS, M-Code, Galileo, and BeiDou. Note, many of the integrated receivers do not make this information available to the users and therefore this tab would not populate. When receivers do make this data available, the tables will populate with new information in real time at a 1Hz rate. For C/A code GPS, the tab requires 12.5 minutes to fully populate (the length of time it requires to receive the full almanac). Each tab within the SV tab is slightly different depending on the data. Almanacs + Ephemeris Used to display the raw data the receiver is receiving from the satellites. This data is populated real-time and stored until new data for that SV is received. Similar to the SV books tab, only certain receivers make this information available and therefore only certain receivers will populate this tab. Debug Where users can go to see the messages received from the receiver, messages sent to the receiver, connection protocol and baud rate in which connection was established, and many other things that are typically not relevant for normal applications. Built-In Commands Along with being able to receive copious amounts of data from the receiver, users can also control receivers with one or many of the built-in command buttons. Cold Start GNSS device dumps all information, attempts to locate satellites and then calculates a GNSS lock. Pause Pauses the playback of a *.bin file for a GNSS Receiver Zeroize Erases and destroys all cryptographic keys and stored information within the receiver. Initialize time and/or position - Allows users to set the time and position for when the receiver comes on line either at startup or after cold start. This assists in a quicker position lock. Fast Forward Fast forwards through the playback of a *.bin file for a GNSS Receiver. Warm Start GNSS device remembers its last calculated position, almanac used, and UTC time, but not which satellites were in view. Key Receiver Allows the user to key a receiver (military) for access to precise position services and codes. Play Continues playing the recorded *.bin file for a selected GNSS Receiver. Write Message Allows users to send a custom message to the receivers. This operates as a catchall for any functionality that is not currently within RxStudio. Messages must be entered in the format specific to that receiver. Time Slide Jumps forward and backward in the file by moving the slider to the left or right.

  • Veterans Day: Steven St. John | SafranFederalSystems

    Veterans Day: Steven St. John What branch of the military did you serve in, and for how long? I served 22 years in the Air Force and Space Force, started as an enlisted member, and finished as a Major. What were your duties? I was a Satellite Operator, an Electronic Warfare Operator, a GNSS and SATCOM Aggressor, a Nuclear ICBM Officer, an Intelligence Analyst, and various held leadership positions. What inspired you to join the military? I wanted to serve my country and be part of missions that mattered. The chance to work worth amazing people and at the cutting edge of space, intelligence, and electronic warfare kept me motivated to stay. What does Veterans Day mean to you personally? It’s a day to honor the people I served with and the sacrifices they made. For me, it’s also about carrying forward the lessons of teamwork and resilience. What drew you to Safran? I knew Safran’s products from my time as an Aggressor on the buying side, and I saw firsthand how they could close real gaps for operators. I wanted to help bridge the gap between technology and warfighters, especially in replicating realistic NAVWAR threats. What skills or values from your service do you apply in your role here? I bring real‑world experience as an EW operator in conflict, creating GNSS‑denied environments and training joint forces how to operate through the effects, and an in-depth understanding how threats apply to our systems. I served in the Special Operations community, which is part of our end-user customer base, and I was the go‑to person for troubleshooting SOF systems in GNSS‑denied environments. I also bring credibility and relationships in the operational community that help connect Safran’s technology to real user needs. In your opinion, what do Veterans bring to the workplace? Veterans bring perspective from operating in tough, high‑stakes environments. We know how to adapt quickly, work as a team, and keep the mission in focus. We also bring instant rapport with our end-users because we walked in their shoes. What’s a memorable experience from your time in service? Flying out to the USS Ronald Reagan at sea, getting hooked, living onboard for five days, training sailors on GNSS and SATCOM jamming before their deployment and being catapulted off the carrier afterward…I’ll never forget how amazing it was to see the “lightbulb” come on when they understood the threat and how to mitigate it. Also, briefing the Secretary of the Air Force in his office on how our TTPs held up against real threats and feeling the passion he had for the lowest level warfighters. What’s your proudest accomplishment — either in or out of uniform? Building the Digital Threat Portal. I saw a serious gap, had almost no resources, and still found a way to deliver a capability to thousands of warfighters in just months and at no cost to the government. We had a great team that rallied around each other and the mission to get it out the door. One of our “Safran Together” values is Succeeding Together. How do you embody this in your role? I focus on connecting technology with operators, making sure their voices shape what we deliver so they come home safe. Success is never about one person, it’s about making the whole team, and ultimately the warfighter, stronger. Feeling inspired? Explore career opportunities at Safran Federal Systems CAREERS
