TrakkaNews: Trakka's Total Mission Solutions

Trakka Systems is proud to announce the integration of its advanced Total Mission Solution into Windward Aviation’s BK117 helicopter, enhancing its operational capabilities to support critical public safety missions across Hawaii’s challenging environments.

Hawaii’s diverse terrain presents significant challenges for public safety operations. From active volcanoes and rugged landscapes to tropical storms and widespread wildfires, aerial missions demand precision, reliability, and adaptability. To meet these challenges, Windward Aviation has equipped its BK117 helicopter with Trakka’s advanced Critical Vision Technologies, enhancing situational awareness, improving safety, and optimizing operational efficiency.

The TrakkaCam® TC-300 Gen II imaging system delivers crystal clear high-definition infrared and color images, while the TrakkaBeam® TL-360 LED/LEP searchlight provides high-intensity, energy-efficient illumination for nighttime surveillances and search and rescue operations. Paired with the TrakkaMaps® TM-100 mapping system, these technologies work together seamlessly as part of Trakka’s Total Mission Solution, creating a fully integrated ecosystem that significantly enhances Windward Aviation’s aerial surveillances, emergency response, and overall public safety operations.

Windward Aviation, a trusted provider of aerial services throughout Hawaii, has a long history of supporting conservation initiatives, disaster response, and government operations. With over 30,000 flight hours and 900,000 takeoffs and landings, the company plays a vital role in protecting native rainforests and watersheds, transporting personnel and equipment to remote locations, and assisting in wildlife preservation efforts alongside Hawaii’s Department of Land & Natural Resources.

“We are excited to support Windward Aviation with our Total Mission Solution, equipping them with the latest advancements in aerial imaging, illumination, and mapping,” said Mike Kipphorn, Western Sales Director for Trakka Systems. “Their conservation and public safety efforts align perfectly with Trakka’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge technology that enhances mission success in the world’s most unique and demanding environments, including off-shore search and rescue along Hawaii’s rugged coastlines.”

Windward Aviation’s new Trakka-equipped BK117 helicopter will soon be fully operational, providing a next-level advantage in executing critical missions throughout the region.
