Description
Wilcox Parachutist Navigation Board (Standard Version)
The Wilcox Parachutist Navigation Board (Standard Version) is a light weight navigation platform designed to provide High Altitude High Opening (HAHO) parachutist the ability to navigate via a backlit Floating Ball Compass, a handheld GPS unit, and an Altimeter. For covert night time operations, the Ball Compass features a red LED back light that can be illuminated at high or low power mode via a three position power switch.
The board also features an adjustable, multi-angled articulating back plate and a hinge system that allows the parachutists to deploy the Navigation Board once safely under parachute canopy. The board can be worn by the parachutist via a Rhodesian Vest, attached to the waistband of the parachutist harness, or mounted on the top of the front-mounted ruck.
