A part of planned mid-life systems upgrades, the TM100-PC is an RTCA DO-160 approved aerial computer system that acts as a nexus for mission-critical systems, enhancing the Swedish Police’s aerial law enforcement and critical response public safety operations.
The Swedish Police Air Support Unit, organised by the National Operations Department, operates its nine Bell 429 helicopters from five bases located throughout the country, ranging from Boden in the north to Östersund, Stockholm, Gothenburg, and Malmö in the south.
The Air Support Units man their helicopters around the clock to execute missions as varied as aerial surveillance, vehicle pursuits, and search and rescue. The helicopters are also used for rapid response transportation to reduce transit time during critical interventions by bomb technicians and officers of the National Task Force.
Simon Gindemo, Business Development, Trakka Systems, said “Trakka Systems is honored to have been selected to provide our advanced TM100-PC fixed-mount computers for the Swedish Police Air Support Unit’s fleet of Bell 429 helicopters. This collaboration with the Swedish Police underscores Trakka’s commitment to advancing airborne mission capabilities through our innovative suite of critical vision technologies and products.”
