Safran Federal Systems announced on June 1 the delivery of its 50,000th SecureSync time synchronization system, marking nearly two decades of fielded precision timing across civil and defense networks.
The system is embedded across critical civilian infrastructure as well, with approximately 90 percent of U.S. 911 call centers relying on Safran timing technology. On the defense side, the SecureSync supports applications ranging from GPS-disciplined synchronization in standard infrastructure to M-Code enabled timing for military operations requiring the highest levels of security and integrity — including the Sentinel A4 radar program, where M-Code SecureSync units were integrated to strengthen resilient PNT performance against jamming and spoofing threats.
“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 at Safran Federal Systems. “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 announcement comes alongside continued development of next-generation timing capabilities. In April, Infleqtion announced availability of the first quantum-enabled precision timing solution developed in partnership with Safran Electronics and Defense, integrating Infleqtion’s Tiqker quantum optical clock with Safran’s White Rabbit and SecureSync systems. White Rabbit technology enables picosecond-level time distribution — approximately a thousand times more precise than nanosecond-class timing — positioning the SecureSync platform for the next tier of defense and infrastructure timing requirements as GPS-dependent architectures come under increasing pressure.
