scope:

This specification covers portable, medium-range, of 2km through 7km, electro-optical distance and angle measuring equipment. Distances are measured using diode-emitted infrared modulated light waves. Angles are determined by electronic measurement. AISI measuring unit will be solid-state construction and complete with accessories for unsupported operation.

The AISI shall be of the following types, as specified:

Type I - One Tenth (00.1") second AISI with EDM modular unit of 7 kilometer capability.

Type II - One Tenth (00.1") second AISI with EDM modular unit of 2 kilometer capability.

Class A - With winterization kit.

Class B - Without winterization kit.

The military specification part number for the automated integrated survey instrument shall be as follows: Beneficial comments (recommendations, additions, deletions) and any pertinent data which may be of use in improving this document should be addressed to: USA Belvoir Research, Development and Engineering Center, Attn: (STRBE-DS), Fort Belvoir, VA 22060-5606 by using the self-addressed Standardization Document Improvement Proposal (DD Form 1426) appearing at the end of this document or by letter.

intended Use:

The AISI shall be used to determine distances and directions for; field artillery weapons systems, establishing geodetic survey control and construction surveys.
