Multiple Japanese police departments have purchased a total of five TrakkaCam TC-300 long-range HD EO/IR camera systems for installations on Airbus, Leonardo and Bell platforms.

The TrakkaCam TC-300 is a versatile, compact, long-range, multi-sensor surveillance system designed for installation on various manned and unmanned platforms. Its advanced features and sophisticated image processors are embedded within the single-LRU configuration and feature four-axis, active gyro-stabilisation and integrated six-axis passive isolation to provide highly stable, crystal clear imagery. The TC-300 provides airborne crews with high-definition (HD) imagery at farther standoff ranges and can read a licence plate beyond one kilometre. The lightweight and compact size makes it ideal for numerous installation types, including fixed-wing, helicopter and unmanned platforms. The TC-300 includes a long-range HD-EO camera, EO spotter scope, short wave IR (SWIR), and HD-MWIR infrared camera. The system is ITAR-free and widely exportable.

Advanced image processing modes, such as image blending, split-screen and picture-in-picture, allow users to simultaneously exploit images from the different sensors and extract details that would otherwise go undetected by a single sensor. Another feature, moving target detection (MTI), is embedded right into the system. The TC-300 is a non-ITAR exportable product and RTCA DO-160 tested for environmental, electromagnetic and mechanical compliance, making it ideal for use in even the harshest environments.
