The Carabinieri national police force of Italy has chosen to augment its aviation capabilities with TrakkaBeam TLX high-intensity searchlights on its five AW169M helicopters. The force has an option for 11 addition helicopters in the same configuration. The searchlights adhere to the highest aviation qualification standards, including DO-160 and Mil-Spec 810, and provide the Carabinieri with unparalleled performance and versatility for its night time operations, including search and rescue, surveillance and crime prevention. They deliver 22,000 lumens of white light, able to illuminate large areas with exceptional clarity. The compact and lightweight design seamlessly integrates with various helicopter platforms, minimising drag and maximising efficiency, making the systems ideal for multi-mission performance.

"We are incredibly proud to have partnered with Leonardo to equip the Carabinieri helicopters with our cutting-edge TrakkaBeam TLX searchlight," says Fabio Presicce, vice president of business development Europe at Trakka Systems. "This deployment milestone underscores our commitment to providing law enforcement agencies with the most advanced technology available to enhance their operational effectiveness and ensure the safety of their personnel and communities."
