RE-LEM DEMONSTRATIONS ANNOUNCEMENT - MAY 2007

AEPCO’s RE-LEM is an easy and ready-to-deploy unmanned ground vehicle capable of efficient operations in a wide variety of terrains. The advanced control of vehicle speed, rotational speed, flail head down force and angle, enable adaptive response to terrain challenges, mines and operational objectives. The RE-LEM is a safe and effective removal method that can be guided by GPS on a robotic path, or be run by remote control. Starting with a modular design, utilizing Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) components, this vehicle answers all the needs for a mobile, dependable, effective tool to clear mines, breach wire barriers, and provide power and tolling for numerous applications. Combining this with a state-of-the-art communication system, the RE-LEM will meet or exceed all expectations.  With add-on packages, the RE-LEM can become a multi-faceted unit that includes a sentry device which warns operators of activity in the area, removes vegetation, provides transport capability and add-on tooling to complete a variety of operations and fulfill its primary operation of mine clearance.  

Over the past few months, the RE-LEM has been demonstrated to the following key military officials:

1.  General Benjamin Griffin, Commander of Army Materiel Command
2. Ms. Kathryn Condon, Executive Deputy to the Commanding General, Army Materiel Command
