SES offer a family of Solid State Data Recorders into markets that demand performance in the harshest of environments.
These data recorders offer high-speed, large capacity storage to the challenging demands associated with Aerospace and Naval applications. The S3DR family is suitable to a wide variety of applications and supports numerous data acquisition, I/O and recording options.
Products within the S3DR family cover the complete spectrum of size and performance that are required to address all sectors of this marketplace. Many of the products are designed for customisation, allowing the range to address bespoke as well as standard requirements. Additional interfaces continue to be added, often in response to standards initiatives or specific market demand, so if an interface appears to be missing, don't hesitate to contact us as it may be in development. The products offer exceptional performance and value for money.
SES will continue to develop the product family to ensure that the S3DR range always offers the fastest, smallest, highest capacity data recording solutions in their respective market place.
The S3DR-E product offers data rates of 500Mbs, with storage capacity in excess of 300GB, while the S3DR-C offers data rates of 60Mbs with storage on high speed PC cards (max capacity 16GB). SES have three further recorder families with performance in-between these extremes.

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.
SES are in the process of developing very lightweight, battery-powered devices for use by infantry.
