  • ERDC explores Nuclear Energy Systems to power future mission

    A strong, resilient energy supply is critical for military installations, and researchers at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) are evaluating domestically produced nuclear energy systems to provide critical research in support of the Army’s Janus Program.

  • ERDC advances Army readiness through resilient, off-grid power

    A small, self-contained electric power system unit called an “energy node” has been installed at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC)’s Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) to facilitate further research towards fulfilling the U.S. Army’s requirement for reliable and resilient energy to power the mission.

  • ERDC partners with industry to advance fuel-efficient water-from-air capabilities

    The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) recently signed two Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) with industry partners to accelerate the development of next-generation, fuel-efficient atmospheric water extraction systems.

  • Vibration Proof: ERDC engineer helps protect B-2 bombers

    For nearly four decades, the B-2 Spirit, commonly referred to as the stealth bomber, has been the tip of the spear in the United States’ ability to project force on a global scale. The aircraft’s capabilities – developed in secret and once thought impossible – were on full display during the recent Operation Midnight Hammer, in which the aircraft was used to dismantle assets with Iran’s nuclear weapons program.

  • CERL’s Melanie Johnson wins Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) Career Exceptional Service Award

    One of the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) electrical engineers earned recognition for her contributions to improving microgrid technology. Melanie Johnson, a research electrical engineer and team lead at ERDC’s Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL), earned the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) Career Exceptional Service Award.

  • CERL archaeologists conduct geophysical survey to identify potential burial sites

    Archaeologists from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) are working on a project centered on surveying and identifying known and unknown burial sites. In June, CERL archaeologists recently conducted a non-invasive geophysical survey to identify potential locations for ancestors' burial in the upper Wabash Region in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Chicago District.

  • ERDC enhances HAB detections through interactive, real-time dashboard

    A team from the the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) is making strides to combat harmful algal blooms (HABs) through its innovative Depth Resolved Algal Bloom Mapping (DRABM) initiative. By creating an interactive, real-time dashboard that visualizes subsurface water quality data, ERDC is transforming how HABs are detected and managed, helping to protect public health, support local economies and enhance flood risk management operations.

  • ERDC robotics team advances future of combat engineering at PC-C5

    A team from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) recently played a key role in a major Army exercise called Project Convergence Capstone 5 (PC-C5). During this event, ERDC’s Robotics for Engineer Operations (REO) put their robotic technologies to the test in realistic, hands-on scenarios that simulate combat situations, showing how systems perform and hold up under pressure, making an important contribution to Army readiness.

  • ERDC leads Operational Energy training for the Zambia Defense Force

    The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) recently led an Operational Energy (OE) training course for the Zambia Defense Force (ZDF), reinforcing military partnerships between the U.S. and Africa while advancing energy resilience and sustainability on the continent.

  • ERDC leads demonstration of hydrogen fueled equipment at National Guard site in Illinois

    The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's (ERDC) Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) is advancing energy resiliency and reliability by using hydrogen as a sustainable, renewable energy source. ERDC-CERL is spearheading research and development efforts to integrate hydrogen energy solutions into military operations, aiming to provide clean backup energy systems that enhance the energy independence of Department of Defense (DoD) installations.
