  • Safran Federal Systems Strengthens the Resilience of Next-Generation U.S. Radars

    Safran Federal Systems, a leading provider of Assured Position, Navigation, and Timing (A-PNT) solutions, announced its continued role in the U.S. Army’s Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) program, delivering advanced timing solutions that are integral to the radar system’s mission success. Safran Federal Systems Strengthens the Resilience of Next-Generation U.S. Radars Arlington, VA, October 13th, 2025 Safran Federal Systems, a leading provider of Assured Position, Navigation, and Timing (A-PNT) solutions, announced its continued role in the U.S. Army’s Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) program, delivering advanced timing solutions that are integral to the radar system’s mission success. The company was first selected for LTAMDS in 2020, reflecting its track record of delivering trustworthy technology for Department of Defense programs of record. Developed by Raytheon, an RTX business, LTAMDS is a next-generation radar designed to detect and defeat complex and emerging threats. As the program transitions into low-rate initial production, Safran’s VersaSync Flex system provides the precise, resilient timing architecture critical to the system’s 360-degree operational capability. The VersaSync Flex is engineered for low size, weight, power and cost (SWaP-C) to meet stringent operational demands. “Our collaboration with Raytheon and the Army on the LTAMDS program demonstrates our commitment to resilient time synchronization technologies that support the modernization of U.S. and allied defense systems,” said Hironori Sasaki, President and Chief Executive Officer of Safran Federal Systems. “Being selected to support LTAMDS with our VersaSync Flex is a testament to our proven record of delivering PNT solutions in mission-critical environments.” “Safran Federal Systems has proven to be a reliable provider of advanced timing technologies to meet the demanding standards required for LTAMDS,” said Mike Mills, executive director for LTAMDS and GhostEye programs at Raytheon. Safran’s technologies support LTAMDS’ 360-degree detection capabilities that counter massive, coordinated attacks from adversaries.” LTAMDS is designed to counter evolving threats such as hypersonic weapons, advanced ballistic missiles and UAVs. Earlier this year, LTAMDS achieved the Department of Defense's Major Capability Acquisition Milestone C designation, initiating the production and deployment phase of the program. LTAMDS is now officially designated a program of record by the U.S. Army and ready to support both its U.S. homeland defense and expeditionary missions.

    Valiant 153M: A GB-GRAM/GB-GRAM-M interface card that enables simultaneous operation and testing of a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) receiver and a GB-GRAM/M. Valiant 153M GB-GRAM/GB-GRAM-M Interface Card Valiant 153M PRODUCT | GNSS TESTING & SIMULATION Compatibility GB-GRAM Type I GB-GRAM Type II GB-GRAM-M Type I GB-GRAM-M Type II Size 4.1" x 2.9" (length x width) Weight approx. 60 grams Power < 0.5W (without GB-GRAM/M) Operating Temperature -20 ͦ C to +65 ͦ C ANY QUESTIONS? GET QUOTE About Valiant 153M is a GB-GRAM/GB-GRAM-M (GB-GRAM/M) interface card that allows the simultaneous operation and testing of a commercial- off-the-shelf (COTS) receiver and a GB-GRAM/M. Both receivers are powered and communicate using a single USB mini cable. By integrating a COTS receiver onto the Valiant 153M, users can perform cross-checks to determine if the military receiver is connected and communicating data properly. Both receivers communicate via the onboard USB mini or RS-232 serial connectors. The Valiant test fixture was designed to be nearly the same size as the GB-GRAM/M type I card. Applications The Valiant 153M excels within valuable criteria for testing in lab and field test environments. COTS Receiver GB-GRAM/M The integrated COTS receiver allows test engineers to confirm that their setup and receiver is properly configured. By observing the data output, engineers can know for certain that their antenna, power, and communication is successfully connected to the Valiant interface card. From there, cross-checks can be performed to make sure the military receiver is reporting the same data as the COTS receiver. The COTS can also act as another unit under test (UUT) during the field test. It is slightly larger than the type I card so that the GB-GRAM/M can be fully placed inside the case. The Valiant 153M can be powered by a USB mini cable, or a 5V wall wart providing options for test engineers. Not only does the USB mini power the board and both receivers (legacy GB-GRAM) but it can also provide data communication for both the GB-GRAM/M and the integrated Ublox receiver. Finally, with one RF input, you can provide GPS signals to two receivers allowing for more UUT’s. The proper operation of the two receivers can be examined using Safran’s software suite, RxStudio. This software suite allows a user to communicate to the receivers simultaneously and visually examine their performance (C/No, SVs tracked, SVs used, LLA, time, code types, assurance, frequency, etc).
