From leisure aircraft to business jets, aircraft manufacturers and private pilots can depend on Safran’s extensive array of safety solutions. This range includes not only Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELTs) but also Personal Locator Beacons (PLBs), catering to a broad spectrum of aviation safety requirements. Safran’s products are designed to ensure maximum reliability and peace of mind across all types of aviation, enhancing safety protocols for pilots and passengers alike.

Reliability for the Future

10-Year Warranty

Ensure safety and achieve long-term cost savings with the Integra ELT's industry-leading 10-year warranty. This warranty surpasses the standard 2-year warranties offered by many other ELT manufacturers, providing unparalleled value and reliability. Opting for the Integra ELT not only enhances safety but also offers significant financial advantages over the long haul by reducing the need for frequent replacements and maintenance.

Short lead times

Safran Beacons stands out among ELT manufacturers for its notably short lead times, ensuring that partners and customers receive their products swiftly. Additionally, Safran offers Aircraft on Ground (AOG) orders, guaranteeing that products will be dispatched within 48 hours. This rapid response capability provides crucial support in emergency situations, helping to minimise downtime and keep operations running smoothly.

Kannad - Shaping the Industry

The Next Generation SAR Distress Beacons

In recognition of this industry leadership, Safran Beacons was selected by the European Commission (EC) in 2015 to lead the HELIOS consortium for the development of next-generation SAR distress beacons for Aviation, Maritime and Land applications. The Helios program aims at developing and bringing to market second generation SAR beacons (SGB) and antennas designed to make optimal use of the latest technology. The consortium, including Airbus, Air France, Cobham and others brings industry and stakeholders together to anticipate industry needs by gathering experience from key stakeholders. This brings understanding of new requirements and provides the catalyst to design new products required in Aviation, Maritime and Land applications for timely Entry Into Service on the market.

HELIOS resulted in the development of the Ultima-DT ELT.

Since the creation of the international Triggered Transmission of Flight Data (TTFD) working group after the loss of Air France AF447, the Safran Beacons team have been deeply involved in investigating solutions to avoid further events of this type. The launch of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) Global Aeronautical Distress and Safety System (GADSS) initiative provided the opportunity to further develop system requirements, resulting in the development and introduction of the Ultima-DT ‘distress tracking’ ELT variant. In parallel to leading the development of the next-generation fixed distress tracking ELT, Safran Beacons was again selected by the European Commission in 2018 to design and certify a state-of-the-art portable ELT, meeting the latest aviation safety standards related to non-rechargeable lithium batteries. This device was also designed to introduce the Galileo Return Link Service (RLS) for the first time. This feature provides acknowledgement of the distress alert - communicating back to the beacon assuring good reception of the alert to those in distress. Developed as part of the “Tauceti” project, Safran Beacons' new Ultima-S marks another major step forward in ELT technology, providing the highest degree of reliability to their partners and customers.
