The flexibility of design and architecture built in to the S3DR range ensure that
the right tool is always available for the right job, with a minimum of bespoke
adjustment and modification. SES are widely experienced in a variety of design and
manufacturing areas, and have successfully completed many diverse projects in which
this type of flexibility and expertise is essential.
The S3DR range of products already forms the basis of a number of COTS data recording
solutions for a number of key military and civil programmes, including:
Land
SES have delivered S3DR data recording solutions into the Warrior and CVR armoured
vehicles. Commercial versions of the products are available for use in carry-on
installations, capable of being powered from a 12V DC power source.
Sea
SES S3DR recorders are in-use with most current submarine types employed by the
UK Royal Navy. Installations have been provided for Trafalgar, Trident and Astute
class submarines. Surface vessels using SES products include Type 22, Type 23, Type
45 and Brunei Offshore Patrol Vessels.
Air
SES data recorders are widely used in the aerospace community, where extremes of
environmental performance are required.
S3DR recorders are used on the following aircraft: Tornado GR4, F16, JSF, Eurofighter
Typhoon, Jaguar, C130J, EW-Sentry, Nimrod MR1, Merlin EH101, Apache, Puma, Lynx,
Gazelle, Eurocopter AS355 and EC135, Airbus Beluga, Mi-17, Sky-X UAV, Eagle 1 UAV, and Meteor
Missile. These recorders are used to provide a number mission recording, Usage Monitoring (UMS)
and flight test solutions for operational applications.
Civil
SES S3DR data recorders are equally applicable to civil and military applications,
providing high-speed data acquisition and recording applications for many different
uses.
Civil applications include police surveillance recording, power-line
surveillance systems, airborne RF recordings for air traffic control research as well as
helicopter engine parameter monitoring for statutory, commercial and safety purposes.
Military
S3DR data recorders are designed to operate in the harshest of environments. Such
harsh environments are typical of the products use in extreme, military-type applications.
The S3DR range of products fully support these extremes of temperature, humidity, vibration,
shock, acceleration, contaminants, EMC, sand, water and dust.
