The Position and Azimuth Determining System (PADS) is a self-contained surveying system which provides fourth- and fifth-order control for U.S. [United States] Army Artillery surveys. The PADS is essentially a velocity aided inertial navigation system which has been designed to provide positional accuracy to 20 meters circular error probable (CEP) and height accuracy to 10 meters probable error (PE) over a 6-hour mission which starts at a "known" survey control point. 1, record 1, English, - Position%20and%20Azimuth%20Determining%20System
