  • ERDC Engineers Enhance Data Classification with Regional Locality-Sensitive Hashing Patent

    The “Classification Engineering Using Regional Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH) Searches” represents a significant leap in data classification and retrieval techniques, with applications across a variety of research fields. This method leverages the power of LSH, a popular technique in high-dimensional data processing, to accelerate the search and classification of large databases.

  • ERDC’s H2Rescue truck drives into GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ Books

    In a partnership with Accelera™ by Cummins, a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title has been set for the longest distance traveled by a hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (FCEV) heavy-duty truck without refueling. This prototype truck, designed for emergency response missions, is part of a collaborative project between the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), the U.S. Department of Energy’s Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technologies Office and Vehicle Technologies Office, the U.S. Army Ground Vehicle Systems (GVSC) Center, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Science & Technology Directorate (DHS S&T), the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory and Accelera™ by Cummins.

  • ERDC researchers use 2D, 3D modeling to aid in hurricane debris assessment

    As recovery efforts continue in western North Carolina, researchers at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) are aiding emergency responders by providing debris pile modeling and estimations.

  • Combined USACE, ERDC teams seek to wipe out aquatic nuisance

    The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service lists hydrilla – or water thyme – as the “world’s worst invasive aquatic plant,” and one specific strain of hydrilla is drawing the attention of federal agencies, including the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). Connecticut River hydrilla has proven resistant to traditional control efforts and is threatening to take over New England’s Connecticut River.

  • Pilot project tests new technology for collecting sediment from Niobrara River

    A joint research pilot project between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Omaha District, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center and the Missouri Sedimentation Action Coalition was recently conducted on the Niobrara River in northeast Nebraska to test new technology designed to intercept sediment from the riverbed before it reaches Lewis and Clark Lake.

  • ERDC looks to modernize flood models with levee vegetation index

    A multidisciplinary ERDC team is working to modernize widely used flood models such as StormSim and Hydrologic Engineering Center software by developing a vegetation index that more comprehensively quantifies vegetation stability on coastal levees. The index will incorporate an array of ecological measurements, such as root/shoot ratios, evapotranspiration rates, soil moisture, vegetation shear, root strength, and vegetation age, size and type.

  • ERDC’s Taylor Rycroft named USACE Researcher of the Year

    A researcher with the U. S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) Environmental Laboratory (EL) is receiving recognition for his role in protecting the environment. Taylor Rycroft, a research environmental engineer, was named the 2024 USACE Researcher of the Year for his work with the Wellbot and Cyanobacterial Suppression Through Ultraviolet-C Neutralization (CyanoSTUN) technologies.

  • Early involvement of coatings experts can have big impact on project success

    The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Paint Technology Center, Technical Center of Expertise (PTCx) is at the forefront of cutting-edge research and development, while also supporting project managers across the Department of Defense in ensuring the correct coatings, methods and personnel are used to protect infrastructure, reduce downtime and extend service life.

  • ERDC Partners with US Department of State to develop innovative window solutions

    Inventors from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Mississippi, developed a groundbreaking innovation in window systems that are resistant to blasts, ballistics and forced entry threats.
