Saving lives & property
When it comes to combating wildfires, aerial firefighting aircrews are the heroes on the frontlines. Trakka Systems provides a total solution package that equips these crews with the necessary tools to navigate through smoke, haze, and darkness, providing critical support to the ground teams.
With Trakka Systems’ critical vision technologies, aerial firefighting teams can confidently tackle even the most challenging fires, gaining enhanced awareness of fire behavior, enabling them to predict, detect, and analyze wildfires more effectively.
TrakkaCam’s radiometric airborne camera measures temperature and U.V. discharge levels, while our short-wave infrared sensors are ideally suited to see through haze and dense smoke, delivering clear imaging and visibility.
The TrakkaBeam high-intensity searchlight provides powerful lighting in compromised environments, and our TrakkaMaps mapping software offers a comprehensive range of views, including 3D, street, satellite, and augmented reality, to ensure situational clarity and effective communication.
Trakka Total Mission Solutions empower firefighting aircrews to make optimal decisions in the heat of the moment, saving lives, protecting property, and minimizing the economic impact of uncontrolled wildfires.
Total Solution Packages
TrakkaCam TC-300-R
Sporting a fully radiometric, HD, LWIR camera in a compact, gyro-stabilized gimbal, the TC-300-R gives utility inspection crews the ability to measure temperatures of energized components in real time, while capturing HD video from an airborne platform. Its faster inspection speeds saves utilities time and money while also proactively reducing downtime and unplanned outages, which lead to lost revenue and customer dissatisfaction. The radiometric LWIR camera penetrates through smoke and provides real-time temperature measurements of hot spots, day and night. The system is ITAR free and widely exportable.
TrakkaCam SWE-400 QUAD
The most advanced airborne Corona detection multi-spectral imaging system around, the SWE-400 QUAD gives utilities and environmental operators the ability to measure temperatures, detect Corona discharges, and capture HD video and still images from an airborne platform.
TrakkaCam TC-300-SWIR
Adding shortwave infrared (SWIR) imaging to the compact, lightweight, single-LRU of HD MWIR EO/IR designs, the TC-300-SWIR lets you see in challenging atmospheric conditions like haze, mist, fog, rain, smog, smoke, and high humidity. Ideal for maritime and firefighting applications, the SWIR camera produces images with higher contrast that are easier to interpret than standard color cameras or MWIR in degraded atmospheric conditions. Like other members of the TC-300 family, the TC-300-SWIR is ITAR free and widely exportable.
TrakkaMaps TM-100
TrakkaMaps TM-100 is a full-featured mission mapping and video management system that can run on various computer platforms, including notebooks and ruggedized laptops. The affordable and flexible architecture is easily customizable with open-source databases and user proprietary secure databases. Designed to integrate with TrakkaCam cameras and TrakkaBeam searchlights, the TM-100 can slew the camera and searchlight’s line of sight to any point on the map with the touch of the screen, mouse click, address, intersection, city, points of interest, or coordinate entries. The TM-100’s intuitive touchscreen controls offer 3D, street, satellite, and custom map views, available with augmented reality overlays on live video imagery.
DID YOU KNOW?
According to the US Geological Survey, in 2019, it cost approximately $5 billion a year to respond to wildfires, and the net economic impact is about $72 billion a year. Yet wildfires also play an essential role in helping sustain healthy and productive ecosystems. Lightning strikes, sparks from power lines, or spread from a campfire are some of the ways wildland fires start. Wildfires are caused by humans about 85% of the time.
