General Atomics AeroTec Systems GmbH (GA-ATS), the German aircraft manufacturer of the Do228 NXT, and Trakka Systems AB, a Swedish mission equipment specialist for imaging and mission software system, have announced a strategic partnership. Together, they will offer Trakka's advanced camera systems as an integrated equipment option for the Do228 NXT multi-purpose aircraft.

Expanding the Do228 NXT mission capabilities

Following its recent successful first flight and official world premiere in June 2026, the aircraft now has another success story to report: the expansion of its sensor capabilities. The Do228 NXT is the next generation of the iconic Dornier 228, a proven, versatile multi-role aircraft designed for a wide range of special missions. With this new partnership, GA-ATS continues to expand the aircraft's growing list of sensor and mission equipment options. Trakka Systems AB brings a comprehensive portfolio of gyro-stabilised, multispectral camera systems that deliver high-quality imagery both day and night, across a broad spectrum of operational environments.

TrakkaCam TC-375, a versatile, high-performance camera

The TrakkaCam TC-375 is a perfect fit for the Do228 NXT and its wide range of mission areas. It is a cutting-edge, gyro-stabilised multispectral imaging system designed for high-performance surveillance and reconnaissance across a broad spectrum of operational environments. The TC-375 delivers full HD imagery both day and night, enabling real-time detection and identification across a variety of mission scenarios. It captures high-resolution images and video to support rapid decision-making during the mission.

A partnership built for demanding missions

The camera's potential applications align perfectly with the Do228 NXT's mission areas, making collaboration a natural fit. The TrakkaCam TC-375 is ideal for a wide range of applications including law enforcement, search and rescue, civil protection, military ISR and environmental monitoring. The collaboration between GA-ATS and Trakka Systems reflects both companies' commitment to providing operators around the world with best-in-class tools for complex missions.
