Trakka Corp Pty Ltd is pleased to announce the New York Police Department (NYPD), together with Helinet Technologies, has selected the A800 Trakkabeam Tactical Helicopter Searchlight for the department’s four recently-purchased Bell 429 patrol helicopters.

The Trakka A800 searchlight’s advanced optics technology provides superior performance and flexibility complimenting the custom airborne mission suite supplied by Helinet Technologies. The Trakka A800 is the perfect searchlight solution to meet the broad range of operations performed by the NYPD due to its unique multi-mission capabilities.
