COMING SOON! The new ROCKY DR10 8.4-inch fully rugged tablet will be faster, brighter, and tougher. AMREL added a faster processor, brighten the display, improved the memory, and upped the battery power. We even added to ROCKY’s legendary ruggedness with an improved IP rating. To preview the specs, click here.
You may not have had a chance to see AMREL’s new interoperability capability at AUVSI, but you can read about it on your free download. Just as our Flexpedient® technology revolutionized OCUs for UGVs, we think interoperable Small Lightweight Expansion Devices (SLED) will become standard for handheld applications. Click here.

AMREL will demonstrate a pioneering interoperability capability for an Android/ARM device at AUVSI 2013 this August in Washington, D.C.
“This is really unique,” said Ron McMahan, AMREL’s Vice-President of Engineering Solutions. “No other company produces handheld or control devices that have the ability to switch applications in the field as efficiently and easily. One platform, multiple applications; that’s the story.”
The war may be over for our veterans, but for many, healing the wounds can be a life-long struggle.

AEODRS in the spotlight
All eyes in the Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) community are on the Advanced Explosive Ordnance Disposal Robot System (AEODRS) program. An important RFP for the increment-1(small robot for dismounted operations) is expected soon, and everyone wants a piece of the action if not the whole shebang itself.
Several things make AEODRS especially attractive to Defense vendors. For one thing, in a time of sequestration and other budget pressures, it is one of the few fully funded Department of Defense (DoD) UGV development programs around. Secondly, it is arguably the most important.

Way back in the antediluvian ages of 2010, when everyone thought the “Harlem Shake” was 
something you drink, Apple introduced the iPad. Nobody, even Apple, really knew how the market would react. After all people already had smartphones, laptops, netbooks, and the old standby, the desktop PC. Did folks really want another form factor?
Turns out they did. Tablets sales took off, while PC sales stagnated. As the above chart from International Data Corp (IDC) demonstrates, the first quarter of 2013 reported a 14% drop in PC shipments, falling below 80 million units for the first time since 2009. This is the worst quarterly report since IDC began tracking PC shipments in 1994. Read more
Like all Americans, we were horrified to learn about the bombing of the Boston Marathon. Like all Americans, we were relieved when the suspects were captured. Only recently, did we discover that AMREL technology may have played a small role in the manhunt.
On Friday, April 19th, a Honda Civic was found to be parked in Watertown, Massachusetts. The car had been abandoned by Dzohkhar Tsarnaev after he and his brother had a gunfight with the police.
The police were understandably nervous approaching the car. According to the most recent reports, the suspects had more than one homemade bomb and had even thrown them at the police during the chase. Was the car rigged to explode?
Army Maj. Gen. Lynn A. Collyar, former director of Defense Logistics Agency’s logistics operations, is not scared of sequestration and he doesn’t want you to be either.
“Our budget still has almost $500 billion,” he recently told an audience of anxious Defense vendors. “We can’t afford to just throw money around…,” but “there is still a lot of money out there.”
One person who doesn’t need convincing is Rob Culver, Director of Program Management for AMREL. After serving in 23 years in the Army with half his career spent in Special Operations (18A), Rob also spent 8 years managing Defense acquisition programs, covering the complete product life-cycle. Having experienced procurement as an acquisition officer, a Defense vendor, and as a grunt in the field, he has a uniquely well-informed point-of-view about the Defense budget.
“General Collyar is absolutely right,” he said. “Vendors are scared, because they don’t understand the acquisition process. The ones who learn how to work the system will be the ones who survive and prosper.”
