IPADS is a high-performance, accurate system used for precision surveying and navigational requirements on the battlefield, and the GPS-equipped systems will be known as IPADS-G.
The US Army IPADS product manager Anthony Giles said that the IPADS-G capability would help with the delivery of accurate fire support to armed forces.
