Bradenton, Florida – Trakka announced Bell has purchased its Total Solution Package for the Bell 505 demonstrator helicopter. This unparalleled package is essential to provide heightened situational awareness to law enforcement professionals. The Total Mission Solution consists of the TrakkaCam TC-300 EO/IR gyro-stabilized surveillance camera, the sophisticated multispectral TrakkaBeam TLX Searchlight, and TrakkaMaps TM-100 Moving Map/Video Management System.

“Trakka Systems is pleased to be a part of Bell’s efforts to promote and sell the highly capable Bell 505, the World’s First Single Engine Helicopter to Fly Using 100% Sustainable Aviation Fuel. Trakka’s compact, lightweight, and low power consumption total mission solution package compliments Bell’s efforts for an eco-friendly solution for airborne law enforcement missions. Trakka Systems strives to deliver exceptional products coupled with astounding customer service,” said Glen Rowling, Vice President of Trakka Systems.

Trakka’s Airborne Total Mission Solutions are designed to meet and exceed the aviation industry’s most stringent requirements.

The TrakkaCam TC-300 is a versatile, compact, long-range, multi-sensor surveillance system designed for installation on various manned and unmanned platforms. Its advanced features and sophisticated image processors are embedded within the single-LRU configuration. It features 4-axis, active gyro-stabilization, and 6-axis passive isolation to provide highly stable, crystal clear high-definition imagery.

Advanced image processing modes, such as image blending, split-screen, and picture-in- picture, allow users to simultaneously exploit images from the different sensors and extract details that would otherwise go undetected by a single sensor. Another feature, Moving Target Detection (MTI), is embedded right into the system. The TC-300 is a Non-ITAR exportable product, and RTCA DO-160 tested for environmental, electromagnetic, and mechanical compliance, making it ideal for use in even the harshest environments. Having the right equipment is essential to provide heightened situational awareness to law enforcement professionals.

TrakkaBeam’s TLX is the latest generation of searchlights and is in a class of its own. The TLX is inertially stabilized for enhanced performance and ease of use. Utilizing a unique Xenon technology, our TLX system provides an efficient and more intense beam from the center to the edges. The aerodynamic and lightweight design eliminates the need for a counterweight, even with side-mounted systems. Up to six different filters can be selected in less than 1 second; Covert IR illumination (for assets with NVG), visible red, green or amber, and white light options. The TLX is DO-160G certified & DO-178 compliant.

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 and proprietary secure databases. Designed to integrate with TrakkaCam cameras and TrakkaBeam searchlights, the TM-100 can slew the camera and searchlight 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, with augmented reality overlays on live video imagery.
