Automatic Distance Indicator

Abstract

The report is the final technical report describing the development and test of the Automatic Distance Indicator (ADI). The ADI is a man-carried, self-contained device that provides an accurate readout of distance travelled by walking personnel. The ADI automatically measures the distance of each step taken by the operator and reads out, in meters, an accumulated distance travelled. The device is intended to provide an accurate distance measurement (1% of distance travelled) for both special purpose applications or general utilization as a position location or navigation aid by foot soldiers.
