Automated Deployment System V3
• The Automated Deployment System V3 is meant to automate the deployment of NRUs,
effectively speeding up the process and reducing labor needs for laying out the nodes.
• The ADS also adds consistency to planting the NRUs at “true vertical”, and the correct depth.

• The system is powered by a Hatz diesel generator, running hydraulic power and electronic
actuator.
• Can be towed by most ATVs rated to tow the ADS weight.
• The system is controlled by a pad type touch screen controller, with a sunlight readable screen.
• With the addition of high precision GPS and navigation display, a single operator can drive and
control the deployment of NRUs with great accuracy and speed.
• The carousel design allows 160+ nodes to be loaded, ready for deployment.
