Removable Data Module

The Galleon Portable Planning and Debriefing System (PDS) is a rugged, all-in-one solution for field-based mission planning, debriefing, data loading, and secure archiving. Designed to interface directly with Galleon’s XSR Removable Data Modules (RDMs), the PDS enables high-speed read/write operations at over 800MB/s, making it ideal for use in pre- and post-mission workflows. Housed in a portable form factor with integrated screen, keyboard, and carrying case, the PDS is engineered for operational flexibility across defence, aerospace, and research environments.

Rugged, High-Performance Storage – Up to 40TB – Field-Ready and Tool-Free

The G1 Removable Data Module (G1-RDM) is a robust and flexible storage solution designed for seamless integration with all Galleon G1 series data recorders, servers, and NAS systems. Built for high-performance mission environments, the G1-RDM enables rapid data exchange in the field—no tools required.

Using industry-standard 2.5” solid-state drives (SSDs), the G1-RDM supports up to 40TB of total storage capacity with dual SSD bays. Compatible with a broad range of SSDs, from ultra-rugged military-grade to cost-effective commercial-grade models, it can be tailored for both lab development and deployed mission-critical scenarios.

Whether used for airborne ISR, lab testing, or embedded systems in harsh environments, the G1-RDM offers the ideal balance of durability, speed, and adaptability. For added security, optional AES-256 hardware encryption and secure erase features are supported on compatible SSDs. The G1-RDM is engineered for performance and reliability, backed by Galleon’s AS/EN 9100 and ISO 9001 certified quality systems.

Metromatics offers local supply, support, and integration services across Australia for Galleon rugged storage solutions.
