ZODIAC DATA SYSTEMS designs, manufactures, supplies and supports a broad range of high technology products and solutions for Aerospace and Defense applications, under the product brand names: IN-SNEC, ENERTEC and HEIM, in the fields of airborne & ground telemetry, mission video and data recording, flight test, satellite TT&C (including Ranging), Remote Sensing, SDR and satellite QoS (Signal Analysis, Geolocation).

As the Telemetry and Telecommunications Division of the Aerosafety & Technology segment, ZODIAC DATA SYSTEMS incorporates:

• ENERTEC and IN-SNEC, in France, now merged under ZODIAC DATA SYSTEMS S.A.S., with three Business Units:

• the "Telemetry" and "Telecommunications" Business Units for the IN-SNEC® products and systems;
• the "Aerospace & Defense" Business Unit for the ENERTEC™ products;

• HEIM Systems GmbH, in Germany, now ZODIAC DATA SYSTEMS GmbH;
• ZODIAC DATA SYSTEMS Inc., in the USA;
• ENERTEC UK Ltd, in the United Kingdom, now ZODIAC DATA SYSTEMS UK Ltd.

ZODIAC DATA SYSTEMS is certified ISO 9001, AQAP 2110, AS/EN 9100, ISO 14001.

The "Telemetry" and "Telecommunications" Business Units of ZODIAC DATA SYSTEMS (formerly IN-SNEC), with three main facilities, provide a full range of innovative products and systems in support of a variety of Airborne and Ground telemetry, Satellite Communications, Signal Analysis and High Data Rate transmission applications.
Airborne products are designed and qualified for allowing data acquisition and telemetry transmission aboard missiles, launch vehicles, aircraft, helicopters and UAV.
