Trakka Systems announced the latest in a long line of successful integrations on Airbus helicopters with the installation of the A800 TrakkaBeam searchlight.
Trakka’s partnership with Airbus has extended over 15 years, bringing mission-critical capabilities to the skies, this time on the cutting-edge H160 helicopter for the French Gendarmerie Nationale.
The addition of H160 aircraft to the Gendarmerie Nationale fleet brings expanded mission capabilities with the largest helicopter ever operated by this venerable organization.
An Integral Key to Mission Flexibility
The TrakkaBeam A800 is a high-intensity searchlight designed to integrate on a wide variety of fixed- and rotor-wing airborne platforms.
The multi-mission A800 searchlight delivers powerful tactical illumination with an integrated, easy-to-use, operator-accessible multispectral filter wheel that improves visual acuity and mission effectiveness.
Trakka Systems’ Tactical Mission Searchlight
An advanced searchlight available for airborne law enforcement, search-and-rescue, firefighting, and military applications, the A800 delivers the benefits of the world’s leading innovation in searchlight technology.
- The TrakkaBeam A800’s unique Xenon lamp and optical design create a superior beam profile that delivers a more consistent and intense beam when and where it is needed.
- The A800 includes an embedded real-time, multi-filter solution. Operators can activate one of up to six different filters with the touch of a button. These filters can provide covert illumination, reduce the glare from fog, snow, or moisture, and enhance the scene’s natural color.
