Maritime conditions are especially difficult for communications, and nowhere are they more important. Corrosive salt air, rough storms, and “dead areas” in the belly of a ship all conspire to damage critical equipment and sabotage the transmission of life-saving information. In the August issue of U.S. Coast Guard Forum, Roger that! reviews a variety of […]
Some of the big attractions at last month’s AUVSI North American conference were micro-UAVs. The Samurai UAV was especially impressive, sporting an unusual asymmetric design. You may have seen images of this amazing little device, but do yourself a favor and check out the video below of Engineering TV’s interview with Bill Borgia, Director of […]
The Department of Defense is determined to field mobile devices that connect soldiers to networks for the rapid transmission of data. A number of forces have inspired this initiative: Younger soldiers, by their own volition, are using their own smartphones and tablets whenever possible. The doctrine of network-centric warfare has upended the traditional paradigm of […]
The Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International recently held its annual North America show, and AMREL was Robotics System Joint Project Office (RSJPO) there! In addition to our booth showing off AMREL’s new interoperable payload controller, AMREL’s OCU solutions were displayed by a multitude of vendors, including:
One of the hottest topics in the unmanned systems community is civilian applications. As Smithsonian.com reports in Drones Ready for Takeoff: “The potential seems limitless—handling routine monitoring of pipelines and power lines, for instance, or gathering geomagnetic data about natural resources (a job that entails flying hundreds of miles in a straight line, at low […]
Let’s assume that you already maxed out the brightness controls. Did you check the power management? If you’re running the laptop on batteries, it will often default to power savings mode, which will dim the screen. Also, crank up the contrast ratio to 5 to 1 or even higher. Does your computer think it’s dark […]
Watch Ted Ventresca of www.fedmil.com interview Ron McMahan, VP Engineering Solutions at AMREL, about the ROCKY DB6, the world’s smallest rugged handheld that runs Windows 7/Linux.
This short whitepaper discusses the problems facing front-line computing, including: data explosion, form factor, power, ruggedness, reliability, and interoperability. We review several approaches to overcoming these challenges, the potential of smartphones, and look at some of the Atom-based rugged computers currently on the market.

What is the optimal screen size for a mobile device used by a warfighter? Is it the 7″ to 12″ display of the tablet? The 3″ to 5″ of the smartphone? Something in-between? With the exception of security issues, the folks at the Pentagon and other real-echelon postings do not work in situations that much […]
