Common Connection
Each product within the Star SAFIRE HLD Family shares the same installation hardware, and the same user interface hardware and software. No matter which system is ultimately chosen, they will all easily install and operate. The FLIR Common Interface makes this possible.
FLIR Common Interface
Eliminating proprietary interface cabling, the FLIR Common Interface relies upon commercial interface standards, connectors and wiring. Using a common interface simplifies installation between family systems, exterior systems (aircraft power, video display, recording devices, and controllers), and other devices that utilize commercial/industrial standards (moving maps, nav systems, radars, GPS, etc.).
Commercial Standards
All turret-to-aircraft interfaces are based on commercially available standards such as SMPTE 292M, Ethernet, ARINC 419/429, RS-232/422/485, MIL-STD-704D and MIL-STD-1553.
Commercially Available Connectors and Wiring
The connectors and wiring are all commercially available items, i.e. MIL-D-38999 Series III connectors, and common aircraft standard wiring loom materials.
Single LRU Configurations
Each product in the Star SAFIRE HLD Family is available in a single LRU configuration. These systems all eliminate the need for external electronics or junction boxes for complete ease of installation.
