The Helicopter Approach Path Indicator (HAPI) system from STABLE AS is a precision-engineered optical landing aid designed to ensure safe, accurate glide slope alignment during helicopter approaches to maritime platforms. By integrating the HAPI unit on a dynamically stabilized mounting, the system compensates for ship motion, significantly enhancing the visibility and reliability of optical signals even in challenging sea states and low-visibility conditions. This innovation directly addresses the demands of naval aviation operations, where precise approach cues are vital for mission success and crew safety.
Engineered for defense applications, the STABLE AS HAPI system features robust construction tailored for maritime environments, offering resilience against salt spray, high winds, and corrosive elements. Its stabilized platform ensures continuous horizon-referenced alignment, providing pilots with unambiguous glide path guidance even during heavy weather or high sea states. This system supports improved situational awareness, reduced pilot workload, and safer recovery operations, making it an indispensable asset aboard naval vessels conducting helicopter missions in dynamic, often hostile maritime theaters.
