Rotary Aviation

Safran is at the forefront of innovation when it comes to designing specific ELT models for helicopters. Most ELTs available on the market are intended for fixed-wing aircraft. To meet the requirements of Helicopter cabin design, Safran offers Rotary-specific versions of our popular Integra ER and ELT 406 Beacons as well as portable, handheld options.

Reliability for the Future

10-Year Warranty
Stay safe and save long-term costs with the Integra ELT’s 10-year warranty – the longest warranty in the industry compared to several ELT manufacturers’ 2-year warranties.

Part of the World’s First End-To-End Search and Rescue Ecosystem
The Integra ELT is part of the Safran unique end- to-end Search and Rescue Ecosystem which includes distress beacons, satellite connectivity, mission control/ rescue coordination center systems and rescue radios. Safran solutions have been at the core of the Cospas- Sarsat satellite-based search and rescue systems since its inception in 1982 and has helped to save over 40,000 lives since then.

Shaping the Industry
Safran is actively involved in the definition, development and implementation of future aviation search and rescue initiatives including the emerging GADSS aviation emergency management system to further improve airline safety and the Helios Project for next-gen distress beacon solutions.

Integra ELT for Helicopters

The Integra ER ELT offers the highest level of resiliency through an innovative backup antenna design. Operating independently of the aircraft, the back-up antenna will transmit your position through the 406MHz frenquency to the Cospas-Sarsat search and rescue satellites.

Integra ELT 406 for Helicopters

The 406 AF ELT transmits through 3 frequencies (121.5 / 243 / 406 MHz), designed to be installed near the tail and to be connected to an outside antenna. A sophisticated “shock sensor” will activate the Kannad 406 AF automatically in the event of an impact.

Integra ER for Helicopters

Operating independently of the aircraft, the back-up antenna will transmit your position through the 406MHz frenquency to the Cospas-Sarsat search and rescue satellites. This version is the Extended Range (ER) of the AP INTEGRA which operates from -40°C to +55°C

Kannad Integra ER

Integra ER(N) for Helicopters

The Integra ELT offers the highest level of resiliency through an innovative backup antenna design. Operating independently of the aircraft, the back-up antenna will transmit your position through the 406 MHz frequency to the Cospas-Sarsat search and rescue satellites. This version is the Extended Range (ER-N) of the Integra AF ER which includes the ARINC e-nav module.
