Tactical GPS Altimeter
The Stratos is a pressure altimeter with an integrated GPS for spotting, canopy navigation and GPS track recording. It is designed and tested to operate in high altitude, low temperature (HALT) environments, and connects wirelessly to HUD glasses, the Soundlink audible altimeter and the Deep and Steep app.
- Pressure altitude to 50,000 ft MSL
- Operates down to −40 °C (−40 °F)
- HARP and DIP navigation
- MGRS or lat/lon coordinates
- Drop tested
- Water resistant, 1 m for 30 minutes
