  • Mapping, planning tool provides situational awareness on a global scale

    When devastating and fatal floodwaters struck Kerr County, Texas, in July 2025, first responders did not rely on radio chatter to coordinate their rescue operations. They used a shared digital map to track efforts and hazards instantly, allowing for quick, reliable communication across multiple agencies.

  • ERDC provides critical expertise in Morocco search operation

    Following the disappearance of two U.S. Soldiers in the Atlantic Ocean near the Cape Draa Training Area in Morocco, experts from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) quickly came together and joined a massive, multi-national team to support search and recovery efforts.

  • SMART Scholarship Program fuels next generation of STEM talent at ERDC

    The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) has selected 28 new awardees across various academic levels for the Department of War’s (DOW) Science, Mathematics and Research for Transformation Scholarship Program, known as SMART.

  • Building the expertise behind installation readiness: Inside ERDC’s EBCx training

    Keeping Army buildings operating at their best helps strengthen installation readiness and resilience, and improvements don’t always require major renovations. Sometimes, they require a trained eye to identify hidden inefficiencies and optimize the systems already in place. Through a recent hands-on training at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's (ERDC) Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL), facility managers from across the Department of War and other federal agencies learned just that.

  • ERDC lightweight airfield matting gives U.S. military speed, flexibility in contested environments

    Every mission depends on access. In contested environments, access often begins with the runway.

  • Beyond the desk: A week aboard a USACE dredging vessel to protect an ancient, elusive fish

    For Jacqui Bergner, a U.S. Army Corps of Engineers aquatic biologist, the rumble of a dredging vessel's engine wasn't just noise—it was the sound of her office. For one week, she called the massive hopper dredge Essayons home, working 12-hour shifts sifting through thousands of pounds of sand and mud. Her mission: to monitor for the accidental “take” of threatened green sturgeon.

  • CRREL working to keep ‘people out of harm’s way’ by using drones to find and identify unexploded ordnance

    A team of researchers from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) and Dartmouth College is pioneering a new way to keep humans out of harm’s way by using drones to find and identify unexploded ordnance.

  • The ERDC Alumni Association awards scholarships to eleven 2026 high school graduates

    The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Alumni Association recently announced the recipients of its 2026 scholarships. Eleven high-school graduates were recognized for their leadership, academic excellence, and promising futures in their respective fields of study.

  • From Apollo to Artemis: ERDC’s enduring role in space exploration

    It has been more than 50 years since Neil Armstrong famously declared, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” as he became the first man to step onto the surface of the Moon. Since then, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) has helped enable the next generation of space exploration.

  • ERDC, LEMA Power the Fight During FLEX 2026

    As unmanned surface vessels carved through the waters off Key West, Florida, and autonomous aerial systems scanned the horizon for illicit trafficking targets, a quieter but equally critical mission was unfolding behind the scenes at U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command/U.S. Fourth Fleet’s Fleet Experimentation (FLEX) 2026 exercise. Inside a network of command trailers operating advanced unmanned systems, researchers from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (ERDC-CERL) and industry partner LEMA were proving that the future of expeditionary operations depends not only on autonomous platforms and artificial intelligence, but also on resilient, unmanned energy systems capable of providing uninterrupted power in austere environments.
