“Upon first activating the system, it must be calibrated according to the soldier, and then given the coordinates of the destination. From the time of departure, the system begins calculating the path, whether the soldier is walking, running, crawling, climbing, etc. It doesn't matter if the soldier is tall or short, the path is calculated according to steps.”

There are a number of other advantages, too. “The system will also afford commanders better control of their troops and minimize instances of friendly fire, because soldiers will always know precisely where they are,” Adar said.
