ADF to acquire Luminact mobile retransmission systems

The Mobile Retransmission System (MRS) is a rapidly deployable suite of equipment to enable retransmission and flexible tactical communications in the battlespace. The MRS can be configured by commanders to suit individual mission requirements and provides a range of tactical line-of-sight and beyond line-of sight communications options.

The system includes Primary Retransmission Subsystem, Secondary Communications Subsystem and a bespoke Power Distribution Subsystem with modular, expandable power management technology provided by REDARC.

“We are excited to be partnering with REDARC to delivery this important capability to Army,” said Luminact co-founder and director Andrew Skinner.

“The MRS will provide a flexible and robust deployable communications system for the ADF, and we are proud to be delivering it with a very high level of Australian industry capability content.”

Luminact will also support the MRS in-service for five years.
