Quick Overview

This device provides a reliable, non-electronic method for determining direction and following a specific magnetic azimuth for land navigation. It is intended for primary or backup use in austere environments where GPS is unavailable, unreliable, or compromised.

Field Application Steps

  1. Open the compass and establish a firm grip using the thumb hold.
  2. Align the front sighting wire and rear sight peep with the desired landmark or objective.
  3. While maintaining sight alignment, read the magnetic azimuth through the magnifying lens.
  4. Set the bezel ring's marching line to the determined azimuth for quick reference.
  5. Hold the compass level and rotate your body until the north arrow is under the marching line to follow the heading.
