TrakkaBeam – Light Years Ahead

A high-intensity, high-power searchlight designed for airborne platforms and now accepted as the benchmark of choice for key helicopter OEM’s , the TrakkaBeam A800 is a fully automated multi-mission searchlight that includes an integrated filter wheel, slews at 0-60° per second elevation or azimuth, and can be easily installed on new or existing searchlight mounts. It is the ideal work-horse for airborne surveillance, SAR, CSAR, police operations, covert security missions and EMS.

This high-intensity, high power searchlight is the latest model in the Trakka Systems range. Complementing the proven work-horse A800, the TLX is a premier product offering more performance, features and functionality in the same form-factor. The TLX provides a massive 25% increase in light intensity across the beam, while requiring an even lower power draw. With the characteristic Trakka full and uniform edge-to-edge light-spread across the beam diameter, the TLX leads the industry for total beam brightness, clarity and control. It also offers an industry-first optional dual sensor TI/TV co-located camera payload for enhanced day/night situational awareness. This coupled with a new GEO Axis Lock option, means the TLX greatly enhances your night-time situational awareness and mission capabilities.

With all the advantages of the TLX, the newly released TLXc offers the world’s best searchlight technology together with an industry-first dual sensor TI/TV camera payload. The TLXc has been designed to offer superior illumination coupled with wide angle fixed field of view cameras for enhanced day/night situational awareness. This coupled with a new GEO Axis Lock option, means the TLX greatly enhances your night-time situational awareness and mission capabilities.

Designed for marine platforms, the TrakkaBeam TLX-M multi-spectral searchlight is ideal for Coast Guard, Harbour Patrol, Anti-Piracy Measures, Hazardous and Remote Object Illumination, and Navigation.  The TLX-M produces an incredible volume of light across the entire beam, greatly enhancing your night-time operational effectiveness.  The custom-built optics provide an efficient and even beam, from the centre to the edges, resulting in the industry’s brightest and most uniform beam.  The TLX-M also includes Trakka Systems unique, embedded multi-filter solution; up to six different filters can be selected in less than 1 second at the touch of a button from inside the helm.

The TrakkaBeam TLXc-M is a ruggedized, multi-spectral maritime searchlight with industry-first EO/IR cameras for short range SAR and situational awareness.  Ideal for Coast Guard, Harbour Patrol, Anti-Piracy Measures, Hazardous and Remote Object Illumination, and Navigation.  The TLXc-M takes maritime searchlight technology to the next level, including a two-axis inertially stabilized gimbal, significantly reducing operator workload while increasing mission effectiveness. The TLXc-M also includes camera slaving to allow for slaving the searchlight line of sight to the EO/IR camera line of sight. The slaving feature also includes reverse slaving to allow slaving of the EO/IR line of sight to the searchlight line of sight for compatible EO/IR systems.

Designed for land-based platforms, the M800 searchlight is a remote controlled system with an internally integrated filter wheel. The M800 can be utilized as a fully self-contained unit on ground-based equipment such as tripods, vehicles or marine vessels. Alternatively, it can be integrated with other sensors or pan-and-tilt mechanisms for applications involving surveillance towers, checkpoints and forward observation points.

Trakka Systems now owns, or has pending, several EASA and FAA Supplementary Type Certificates (STC’s) for the installation of the TrakkaBeam A800 onto various helicopter models. Trakka Systems has made this significant investment in order to help you, the customer, get the most cost-effective and innovative installation solutions for the integration of our searchlight system and its control options onto your helicopters.

Trakka also offers a complete range of accessories to help you get the most functionality and flexibility from the searchlight for your mission.
