  • OCU Specialist

    AMREL is the only Operator Control Unit (OCU) provider to supply control subsystems for multiple deployed unmanned platforms developed by different manufacturers. Our battlefield-tested OCUs are utilized in the unmanned systems listed below.

  • Modular Solutions and an extended operating range

    AMREL's robotic computer solutions use Application Modules that eliminate cumbersome tethered antennae while protecting the signal from internal interference. You get an unprecedented operating range at a substantially reduced footprint.

  • Common Control Here & Now

    AMREL’s Flexpedient® Technology utilizes field-swappable Radio Control Modules to command multiple heterogeneous unmanned platforms. While not a true COCU, it enables you to generate robotic computer solutions with common control capabilities here and now. Don’t wait till 2012 for common control.

Visit our dedicated OCU Website and learn how you can:

  • Protect your proprietary technology while making it interoperable
  • Prove innovative technology on a mature platform
  • Deliver a new solution at lowest price point
