Enhanced Position and azimuth Determining System (EPADS)

The Enhanced Position and azimuth Determining System (EPADS) is a cutting-edge inertial surveying solution tailored to meet rigorous military specifications. This lightweight system is encased in a durable frame, making it easily transportable by two personnel, and is notably suited for the initialization and alignment of artillery and weaponry.

EPADS incorporates advanced GPS anti-jamming and spoofing features, eliminating the need for regular calibration. It adheres to various military standards, including MIL-STD-461E/464A, MIL-STD-810F, and MIL-STD-1275D, ensuring reliability in challenging environments.

An international variant, known as EPADS-I, is also available, catering to the diverse requirements of military forces globally.
