PROTECTING NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS


ENVIRONMENTAL & ECOLOGICAL SURVEY (EES)

Trakka Systems’ range of products provides heightened awareness for environmental monitoring, such as wildlife conservation, environmental disaster, and fire management. Wild and urban, are unpredictable and dangerous if left unsurveyed, endangering property and assets and the lives of those living in their path or trying to stop them on the ground or by airborne suppression. Sensor technology, such as electro-optical cameras with IR, allows airborne crews to better predict, detect, and analyze fire behavior. This heightened awareness is critical as it allows for the real-time management of ground-based first responders while also providing direction to aerial responders to accurately deploy their payloads to suppress the fires as they battle through flames, smoke, haze either in the day or at night.

Trakka Systems’ total solution package incorporates the technologies to help contain even the unruliest of fires. TrakkaCam’s radiometric airborne camera system can measure and transmit temperature and UV discharge levels while optimizing visibility with outstanding imaging and clarity. TrakkaMaps provides 3D, street, satellite, and augmented reality views for further situational transparency and communication between airborne and ground-based teams. At the same time, the TrakkaBeam can be utilized to provide standoff situational awareness during nighttime aerial operations. You can be confident that the multi-intelligence data gathering tools offered by Trakka Systems’ will deliver optimal outcomes, especially in the heat of the moment.

MISSION PRODUCTS

TrakkaCam

TC-300-R

Trakka’s TC-300-R is a compact, stabilized, radiometric thermal imaging/video system that gives utility and environmental operators the capability to measure temperatures in real-time, and capture high-definition video from an airborne platform. The TC-300-R allows for faster inspection speeds and saves utility companies costs by helping to reduce reactive maintenance and unscheduled downtime. In addition to utility inspections, the TC-300-R is an invaluable tool for wildfire fighting. The radiometric camera penetrates through smoke and provides temperature measurements in real-time of hot spots, day and night. The system is ITAR free and widely exportable.

TC-300-R comes standard with embedded metadata, Moving Target Detection (MTI), and a fully integrated IMU/INS for Geo-Location, Geo Hold, and simplified Moving Maps integration, enabling operators and commanders to share mission-critical information in real-time. The payloads are supported by 4-axis active gyro-stabilization and integrated 6-axis passive vibration isolation to compensate for aircraft maneuvering and eliminate external vibrations producing clear stable High-Definition images. The TC-300-R provides the geographical coordinates to direct firefighters and water bombers to critical locations. Coupled with the TM-100’s measuring tools, the system informs the command center of the fire’s perimeter, distance to buildings and roads, and its progress. TC-300-R is available with the TrakkaMaps TM-100 map and video management system. It easily integrates with the TrakkaBeam TLX, TLXc, or 800 searchlights for a fully integrated total surveillance solution package.

TrakkaCam

SWE-400 QUAD

Trakka’s SWE-400 QUAD multi-purpose, stabilized, multi-spectral imaging system gives utility and environmental operators the capability to measure temperatures in real-time, detect Corona discharges, and capture high-definition video and mega-pixel digital still photos from an airborne platform.

The SWE-400 QUAD increases inspection speeds and saves utility companies costs by helping to reduce reactive maintenance and unscheduled downtime. The system is also an effective tool for oil spill detection, as the long-wave infrared camera detects thick oil sheens, and the specialized UV camera detects thinner sheens. The SWE-400 QUAD is also invaluable for wildfire fighting missions, as the radiometric camera penetrates through smoke to see hot spots and provides temperature measurements in real-time. The UV camera determines the direction and behavior of the fire and provides the geographical coordinates to direct firefighters and water bombers to critical locations. The fully digital 4-axis active gyro stabilization gimbal compensates for aircraft maneuvering and eliminates external vibrations. Coupled with the TM-100’s measuring tools, the system informs the command center of the fire’s perimeter, distance to buildings and roads, and its progress.
