Abstract:

The Automated Integrated Survey Instrument AISI is an electronic surveying system capable of rapidly supplying the military surveyor with a single device that records vertical and horizontal angles and distances. It will overcome his greatest survey deficiency lack of speed. As a total station concept, the AISI will perform all required surveying functions formerly achieved with theodolites and distance measuring equipment and will perform them with greater accuracy and fewer errors.
