Helicom V3

More powerful

Ready for vibration data acquisition, Helicom V3 can monitor up to 1024 parameters (optional) up to 50Hz and record 150 flight hours.

More secure

Relying on Safran expertise in Cyber Security, Helicom V3 ensures the highest level of protection to your data.

In flight, Helicom V3 enables real-time data transfer and helicopter flight tracking via an optional satellite communication. Post flight, all recorded data are automatically transmitted via a secure 4G (5G-ready) connection for data analysis and via Wifi for Digital Flight Report preparation.

More connected

Helicom V3 integrates new embedded web services. Get a direct access to the data via a secure web server on your smartphone or tablet right after the flight thanks to the Helicom V3 Wifi hotspot.

A complete digital chain

From data acquisition and transmission with Helicom to data decoding and analysis with Cassiopée™ Alpha, take advantage of Safran full digital chain.

Compliant with IR-OPS for Helicopter Flight Data Monitoring (HFDM), Usage Monitoring System (UMS) and Helicopter Operation Monitoring Program (HOMP), Helicom is the best way for operators to extract accurate data.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the typical lead time for gas turbine overhaul services?

The lead time for gas turbine overhaul services ranges from 6 to 14 weeks, depending on the damage assessment, parts availability, and whether hot-section repairs are required. Expedited options may reduce this by 30%.
Do you provide customizations for legacy turbine control systems?

Yes, we retrofit legacy systems (e.g., GE Frame 5, Siemens V94.2) with modern digital controllers, typically completing hardware integration within 4-8 weeks. Software migration requires additional validation time.
How often should industrial gas turbines undergo performance testing?

We recommend annual performance testing under ISO 3977-2 standards. Critical applications (e.g., offshore platforms) may require semi-annual tests with emissions compliance checks.
Are your radiation-hardened (rad-hard) semiconductors compliant with MIL-PRF-38535?

All rad-hard devices (e.g., FPGA, ADC) are QML Class V certified under MIL-PRF-38535 and tested to MIL-STD-883 Method 1019 for SEU tolerance. Full qualification reports are available upon request.
What temperature ranges do your military-grade ICs support?

Our ASICs and power management ICs operate across -55°C to +175°C ambient temperatures, with derating curves provided in military temperature range (MTR) datasheets.
Are PMA parts interchangeable with OEM components?

Our PMA parts (e.g., actuators, sensors) hold FAA/EASA Form 1 certification and match OEM form/fit/function. Installation requires SB/MB documentation per FAA AC 23.1529.
What traceability standards do you follow for aircraft fasteners?

All NAS/MS fasteners include full DNA traceability: melt source (AMS 2301), heat/lot numbers, and AS9100-compliant MTRs with ultrasonic test reports.
How do you handle urgent AOG (Aircraft on Ground) requests?

AOG orders ship within 4 hours for stocked items (FAA-PMA, EASA Part 21G). Non-stock critical parts trigger priority manufacturing with 72-hour max turnaround.
