Global Sourcing Spotlight: The Global Quality Gap—Why Consistency Wins the Contract
Safran Federal Systems, a trusted DoD mission partner and industry leader in Assured Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (A-PNT), together with Safran Electronics and Defense, announced the delivery of its 50,000th SecureSync™ time synchronization system, a milestone that reflects the platform's reliable track record.
For over 50 years, precision timing has been at the core of Safran's mission. With more than 50,000 SecureSync units delivered globally across civil and defense networks, SecureSync is one of the most widely deployed precision timing systems in the market. That scale is the result of generations of advancement in performance, design, and relentless innovation to outpace evolving conditions and demands.
“Timing has been foundational to who we are since day one, and this milestone is a testament to the trust our customers have placed in SecureSync for nearly two decades,” said Trevor Dougherty, Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Safran Federal Systems. “Our solutions are in the field, actively supporting warfighters, and we remain as committed as ever to delivering the reliability that missions depend on. In an environment where a fraction of a second can mean the difference between success and failure, we don't just deliver precise time — we make it resilient.”
The SecureSync supports a broad range of applications, from GPS-disciplined synchronization in commercial infrastructure to M-Code enabled timing for military operations requiring the highest levels of security and accuracy. Today, SecureSync is trusted across some of the most critical programs in the defense and federal community. Its widespread adoption reflects Safran’s history of delivering trustworthy, field-proven timing solutions.
Safran is actively staying ahead of where the mission is going by investing in the next generation of timing capabilities, including White Rabbit next-generation picosecond time distribution and quantum timing technology — to continue supporting the warfighter with innovative timing solutions on the battlefield.
