“This is a significant leap forward for current and future Pathfinder users,” said ARA Senior Business Development Manager Col. Ian Dinesen, USAF (Ret.). “The proliferation of TAK beyond the military to civilian government agencies and commercial sectors made it clear we needed to expand our offering to meet customer needs. We are excited to bring a new capability to users.”

The origins of Pathfinder date back to the early 2000s when the U.S. Army procured more than 50,000 Pathfinder sensors (legacy “E-UGS”) for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Pathfinder was later commercialized and upgraded with advanced algorithms to increase efficacy of detection and reduce false alarm rates. Latest features include:

Precision drop placement on a map
Line-of-sight heatmap to evaluate potential transmission risks
Color coded sensor status
Creating teams and sectors
Sensor history
Integration with ARA’s augmented reality technology, ARC4

Pathfinder is currently fielded globally by militaries, government agencies, and commercial clients.
