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 A800M searchlight was developed from the environmental testing lessons gleaned from the development of the A800. The high-powered A800M can be controlled either by a control panel, pistol grip, or via integrated slaving through RS232 or RS422 third party interfaces. The A800M provides mariners with a high-intensity, high-power searchlight with superior beam profile, low weight, and multi-function internal filter wheel. The amber filter is especially adept at handling water spray and fog, while the red and infra-red filters are useful for surveillance and navigation purposes.

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.
