The Improved Position and Azimuth Determining System (IPADS) is an inertial surveying system designed for demanding military requirements. The lightweight solution is housed in a robust frame, is two-person portable and is ideal for artillery and weapons initialization and alignment.
The system features GPS anti-jamming and spoofing capabilities, require no periodic calibration, and meet a range of military standards including MIL-STD-461E/464A, MIL-STD-810F, and MIL-STD-1275D.
An international version (IPADS-I) is available to suit the needs of military forces around the world.
