AMREL's OCU solutions have been combat tested by thousands of deployed PackBot Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGV). Our one-piece OCU solution directly incorporates the radio card into an integrated Radio Control Module (RCM), thereby simplifying the supply chain, reducing peripherals and decreasing the size & weight of the footprint. An unusually high level of interoperability was achieved through swapping radio-control modules of 2.4 and 4.9 GHz. This mature technology has a TRL of 9.

AMREL helped established the reputation of the Multi-function, Agile, Remote, Controlled Robot (MARCbot) as an effective warfighter tool. Integrated into the main control system, the radio was encased in the hardened material of AMREL's unique RCM, protecting it from interference of the internal electronics. The RCM enabled a small form-factor OCU solution, but didn't decrease the operating range. Being able to control the MARCbot from a safe distance was a major factor in this pioneering robot's popularity, which led to an even greater demand by the military for unmanned systems.

AMREL supplies an OCU solution for SeaBotix's "Little Benthic Vehicle" (LBV), a "miniROV" (Remote Operated Vehicle). This Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) performs inspections, interdictions, surveillance and a host of other missions at depth ratings from 150 to 600 meters. AMREL's fully rugged OCU completely meets military standards for severe maritime conditions.
