Automatic Distance Indicator (ADI).
Abstract
The report is the final test report describing the force development test of the Automatic Distance Indicator (ADI). The ADI is a man-carried, self-contained device that provides a readout of the distance traveled by walking personnel. The ADI automatically measures the distance of each step taken by the operator and reads out, in meters, an accumulated distance traveled. The test report gives the results of accuracy testing, testing in specific distance measuring roles such as minefield recovery, and tactical testing. The tactical phase of testing was done by using the ADI as a substitute for the current method of counting paces to determine distance traveled in cross-country navigation.
