During military operations, not only high-quality equipment is needed, but also accurate orientation and correct navigation – it determines the success of certain actions. A tactical compass will be a useful assistant – a compact, reliable device that allows you to easily choose the desired direction regardless of your current location. In the assortment of the PROF1GROUP online store, it is easy to order the development of brands Silva, Sturm Mil-Tec and other well-known brands at fair prices.
Military compass: popular types
An alternative to GPS navigation should always be at hand: electronic components can fail in case of liquid penetration, due to mechanical damage or loss of signal. In order to freely navigate during tactical maneuvers, you need to choose a suitable model of the compass, taking into account its design features and the specifics of further operation:
- Magnetic. A classic, widely used variant that functions on the basis of magnetic properties and an arrow that points in the north direction. But under the influence of external magnetic fields, the readings may be slightly distorted.
- Gyrocompasses. A more complex and accurate type of devices that work on the basis of the law of conservation of angular momentum. Do not depend on magnetic fields and, accordingly, are not prone to distortion, but require accurate calibration after purchase.
- Liquid. Also known as capsule: stable due to the use of liquid to reduce vibrations and oscillations of the arrow.
The military compass can be supplemented with a convenient lanyard for wearing around the neck, on a belt or on a backpack. Some models are protected by a strong case that will protect the fragile mechanism from damage during a fall or impact. A plus will be LED lighting, which allows easy orientation even in complete darkness.
Materials for making military compasses
Two types of materials are most often used for the production of orientation devices:
- plastic – for light, inexpensive devices that are optimal for performing basic tasks;
- metal – strong and reliable products, which makes them the optimal solution for use in extreme conditions.
Army compass – a universal tool for determining direction and orientation in various situations. The choice depends on the budget allocated for the purchase, the preferences of the future owner, as well as the operating conditions of the product.
