Empowering and assisting special missions, Trakka Systems have a suite of products that aid decision-making and improve mission outcomes

For over two decades, Trakka Systems has been a pioneer in critical vision technologies, empowering search and rescue (SAR) operations worldwide. From armed conflicts to global waterways, Trakka’s innovative solutions have saved lives and protected property.

Trakka’s gyro-stabilized electro-optical (EO) / infrared (IR) systems have assisted professionals globally in SAR missions. Advanced technologies like thermal imaging have enabled firefighters, emergency medical services (EMS) crews, and coast guards to locate missing persons in challenging environments, such as vast oceans, sprawling mountains, and densely populated cities.

A COMPLETE SOLUTION

Our products work individually or integrated together as Total Mission Solutions to offer unmatched capabilities for rescue missions. TrakkaMaps TM-100, when combined with our TrakkaCam and TrakkaBeam products, provides a seamless user experience and ecosystem. The TM100 software allows operators to control the camera and searchlight using a single controller, reducing fatigue and improving mission outcomes. TM-100 also enables real-time recording and sharing of detected activity with ground commanders.

TrakkaCam’s thermal imaging and color TV cameras provide aircrews with a significant advantage in long-range searches and see through fog, haze, and zero light conditions. Combined with the TM-100 software’s ability to record and share detailed location data for informed decision-making and post-mission analysis and reporting.

TrakkaBeam’s high-intensity searchlights offer superior illumination, featuring advanced LED/LEP hybrid technologies or xenon options with multi-spectral filters. The TrakkaBeam’s lighter weight and aerodynamic design profiles, along with military-grade configurations, make TrakkaBeam an ideal searchlight for SAR missions in any environment. The US Coast Guard and other agencies worldwide use TrakkaBeam products for their SAR operations.

MORE THAN JUST SAR

Beyond SAR, Trakka Systems’ technologies have been instrumental in combating wildfires. Our solutions enable aerial firefighting crews to navigate through challenging conditions, providing essential support to ground teams. TrakkaCam’s radiometric airborne camera measures temperature and UV discharge levels, while short-wave infrared sensors penetrate smoke and haze. TrakkaBeam’s powerful searchlight illuminates compromised environments, and TrakkaMaps offers comprehensive mapping capabilities for enhanced situational awareness. Trakka Total Mission Solutions empower firefighting aircrews to make informed decisions, saving lives, protecting property, and minimizing the economic impact of wildfires.

AUTOMATION TO REDUCE WORKLOAD

Trakka Systems continues to innovate by partnering with companies like Overwatch Imaging. Its Automated Sensor Operator (ASO) software augments our TrakkaCam imagers, empowering operators with automated situational awareness.

ASO automates sensor control, data collection, and analysis, providing real-time intelligence. Advanced technologies like computer vision, GPU processing, artificial intelligence (AI), and sensor data enable ASO to automate sensor operation and data processing for wide-area search; intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR); and mapping missions.

Trakka Systems and our partners are committed to providing cutting-edge solutions for SAR professionals. Together, we are shaping the future of critical vision technology and empowering teams to save lives and protect property.

In the AirMed&Rescue November 2024 edition

Special missions often fly in challenging conditions covering large areas, so sensors are used to narrow the search, highlight targets of interest, and perform safer flights, among other benefits; aerial firefighting is facing greater demands upon its resources, so operators and organizations are expanding their assets and abilities with drones that can be flown at a low cost with a high safety margin, allowing the conventional crewed craft to focus on other roles; and the complexity of rear crew winching requires equally complex and involved training to ensure that live missions are conducted successfully and safely.

Plus, we have all of our regular content to keep you informed of the events relating to worldwide special missions.
