About Us

Safran is the world leader in Positioning, Navigation, & Timing Technology (PNT)

Safran provides the technology needed for knowing your exact location, measuring and synchronizing time down to the nanosecond, and navigating while on vehicles, even when there is no satellite signal available.

All Safran products come with unparalleled support, and the brightest minds in the world working to solve the toughest engineering problems. When the integrity of your time and location data cannot be compromised, when the mission is critical, you can trust Navigation and Timing solutions from Safran to protect and ensure resilience.
