At the AUSA show in Washington, DC, our McDowell Research brand introduced the MRC-200A and MRC-200H Portable Tactical Repeater Systems.

The systems are designed for portability and first-responder use with multi-band handheld radios. The "A" model uses the Thales MBITR AN/PRC-148 radio; the "H" model uses the Harris® FALCON III® AN/PRC-152 radio.

In addition to greatly extending the range of a handheld radio—effectively providing performance comparable to a manpack radio—both models provide greater bandwidth coverage than all other commercial repeaters (30-512 MHz).

At the AUSA show in Washington, DC, our McDowell Research brand introduced the MRC-200AL Portable Tactical Link Repeater System (TLRS).

Designed to enable fast deployment of mobile, mission-critical communications, the TLRS uses the Thales MBITR AN/PRC-148 radio.

The TLRS provides the same repeater capabilities as the MRC-200A, with the added feature of linking two or more repeater networks or a repeater network and a base station.

Ultralife, in association with Lynntech, Inc. and the Army's Communications Electronics Research, Development and Engineering Center (CERDEC), completed a 12-month (Milestone 1) development effort, signifying important progress towards developing a hydrogen fuel-cell battery charger, the MRC-201.

Currently available for evaluation by select customers, the MRC-201 is packaged in a rugged, light-weight, low-profile Pelican™-style case for highly-mobile applications requiring easy transport.

Ultralife Corporation has been awarded fourth place in the Wearable Power Prize System Competition, the Pentagon-sponsored contest recently held at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms, California to invent the most lightweight and long-lasting power system worn by soldiers in the field.

Although fuel-cell systems took the top three positions in the overall competition, Ultralife finished first among the battery-system entries with the only battery to pass both bench and field testing.

As a worldwide competition, nearly 170 teams competed, including those from universities and foreign-owned companies.
