ALFA 3

Made from aircraft-grade aluminum, the ALFA 3™ is the next evolution in digital military visual altimeters, delivering durability, accuracy, and performance to the troops. Paired with the ECHO 3™, it creates a complete altitude awareness system.

Using the ALTISET II™, jumpmasters and mission commanders can preset the mBar setting across a group or entire load of ALFA 3™ altimeters via IR, allowing for easy adjustment of altitude offsets between takeoff and landing zone elevations.

ALFA 3™ comes with a velcro hand mount.
