- 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.

GET QUOTE About RxStudio is an easy to use software platform that enables users to monitor and log GNSS receiver data in real-time. RxStudio was developed as a plug-and-play architecture compatible with over 100 GNSS receivers outputting and logging receiver data in a common format. Our engineers are constantly integrating new receivers increasing the number of supported receivers every month. RxStudio enables users to quickly visualize how their receivers are performing in real-time through data fields, color-coded tables, and position maps overlaid with google maps. RxStudio is a versatile tool that can be used in almost every single test environment. From field tests to classified laboratories, RxStudio increases performance and efficiency while reducing risk and complexity. Features You've Always Wanted RxStudio can monitor and log data from multiple receivers simultaneously. 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.

- An Engineer’s Guide to CRPA Testing
This guide discusses applications and use cases for CRPAs, and methods for testing them. It explores various test solutions available today, and helps you choose the right solution for your specific application. Home • PNT Library • An Engineer’s Guide to CRPA Testing An Engineer’s Guide to CRPA Testing DOWNLOAD PDF By Tim Erbes Introduction In the ever-evolving landscape of GPS navigation and positioning, Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas (CRPAs) are revolutionizing defense and critical infrastructure. These advanced systems are crucial for protecting against jamming and spoofing threats, which can disrupt operations in high-stakes environments. We are providing a comprehensive overview of CRPA testing methods, technologies, and best practices based on the insights from Safran Federal Systems' white paper, Engineer’s Guide to CRPA Testing. For the full white paper and in-depth analysis, download the PDF . Who Should Read This White Paper? • GNSS/RF Test Engineers • GNSS/RF Systems Engineers • PNT Engineers • Navigation Engineers • NAVWAR Engineers • Signal Processing Engineers • Avionics Engineers • Program Managers What Are CRPAs, and Why Are They Important? CRPAs, or Controlled Reception Pattern Antennas, are multi-element antenna systems designed to reduce RF interference. By forming nulls in the direction of jammers or spoofers, CRPAs ensure that GPS receivers only process true satellite signals. These antennas are increasingly common in the defense sector, where robust anti-jamming and anti-spoofing capabilities are essential. Key benefits of CRPAs include: • Dynamic Threat Adaptation : Nullifies interference in real-time. • Enhanced Navigation Security: Maintains signal integrity under adverse conditions. • Wide Application: Used in UAVs, ground vehicles, and naval systems. Why Is CRPA Testing Critical? Rigorous testing ensures that CRPAs perform reliably in real-world scenarios. Without proper validation, these systems may fail to counteract advanced jamming and spoofing threats. Testing not only validates the design but also identifies performance limits and areas for improvement. CRPA Testing Methods 1. Record Replay Testing This cost-effective method uses recorded GPS data for simulations. While realistic, it lacks flexibility since recorded data cannot be modified. 2. GNSS Simulation GNSS simulators, like Safran’s Skydel-powered systems, allow for fast iteration speeds and high flexibility. These simulators support: • Threat simulations (jammers and spoofers). • Encrypted signals for classified defense systems. • Scalable architecture for multi-element testing. 3. Anechoic Chamber Testing An anechoic chamber provides a controlled environment for over-the-air (OTA) testing of CRPAs. It evaluates both antennas and electronics, ensuring comprehensive system performance validation. However, it requires significant upfront investment and setup. 4. Field Testing Field testing replicates real-world conditions by introducing actual threats. While effective, this method is costly and limited by environmental variables and regulations. Wavefront Simulation: A Game-Changer for CRPA Testing What is Wavefront Simulation? Wavefront simulation uses software-defined radios to simulate GNSS signals and threats, delivering unmatched precision and scalability. Key features include: • Phase Alignment: Ensures accurate signal timing across antenna elements. • Real-Time Jamming and Spoofing: Simulates hundreds of threats simultaneously. • Scalability: Supports up to 16 antenna elements and thousands of signals. • Automation: Enables quick setup and repeatable tests with minimal manual intervention. Advantages Over Traditional Methods Wavefront systems are lab-ready and do not require complex installations like anechoic chambers. They allow for dynamic simulations, enabling engineers to test under extreme conditions without leaving the lab. Key Features of a Robust CRPA Testing System When selecting a testing system, look for the following: • Built-In Jamming and Spoofing: Essential for simulating real-world threats. • Encrypted Signal Support: Critical for classified defense applications. • Scalability: The system should adapt to future needs, including additional elements or signals. • Automation: Streamlined calibration and testing workflows to save time. • Cost Efficiency: Long-term savings through software-defined, upgradeable systems. Common Questions About CRPA Testing How do CRPAs counter jamming and spoofing? CRPAs dynamically nullify interference using null steering and beamforming techniques, isolating true satellite signals while ignoring others. What’s the best way to test CRPAs? The ideal approach combines methods. GNSS simulation offers flexibility and speed, while anechoic chambers provide comprehensive OTA testing for full systems. How scalable are modern CRPA testing systems? Safran’s wavefront systems are highly scalable, supporting additional elements, signals, and future updates with minimal hardware changes.
