  • Simulation now a fixture to optimize USACE navigation projects

    For years, the U.S. Army Watercraft and Ship Simulator — located at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) in Vicksburg, Mississippi — has served as an important resource for district engineers. Whether planning new inland waterways, designing deep-draft coastal channels, or enhancing existing structures, districts could leverage the simulator and its team.

  • ERDC summer interns dive into research, community

    This summer, nearly 150 high-school, undergraduate and graduate students are working in Vicksburg, Mississippi, as interns at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC).

  • ERDC researchers use mobile trailers to expand critical messaging along inland waterways

    Low water, shoaling or missing buoys can cause hazardous conditions along our nation’s waterways, putting ships and crews at risk. Even the smallest disruptions in navigation can have catastrophic consequences for supply chains and the movement of essential goods across the country, impacting the economy. To help mitigate these hazards and strengthen gaps in broadcast coverage, researchers at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) are using deployable mobile trailers to ensure that critical messages can be transmitted to vessel traffic.

  • Testing continues on lock improvements along upper Ohio River

    As navigation improvements continue along the upper Ohio River, a team of researchers at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) are developing physical models to test new designs of the lock systems to ensure they function as intended.

  • Camera, sensors don’t blink as nor’easter unleashes on the Outer Banks

    Recently, a strong nor’easter took aim at the Outer Banks in North Carolina and sitting right in the middle of its path was ERDC's Field Research Facility (FRF) known for its coastal engineering expertise and world-class research capabilities.

  • Autonomous barge kits improve logistical capabilities for joint forces

    The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) has partnered with the U.S. Transportation Command to develop Scalable Autonomous Modular Propulsion kits for coastal and riverine Operational Logistics, or SAMPOL.

  • ERDC and USACE New York District partner on New York Harbor field testing

    Four U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) laboratories, along with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers New York District (NAN), recently joined forces to conduct a series of anchor penetration-depth field tests at Stapleton Anchorage in the New York Harbor.

  • ERDC hosts Sediment Transport Collaborative Laboratory Experiment

    This summer, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) hosted the U.S. Coastal Research Program’s (USCRP) Sediment Transport Collaborative Laboratory Experiment, or SEDCOLAB, to improve understanding of sediment transport processes by leveraging and coordinating scientific investigations from multiple research teams in a controlled, laboratory environment.

  • Savant selected as Fulbright Specialist

    Dr. Gaurav Savant, a senior scientific technical manager at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), has been selected as a Fulbright Specialist.

  • ERDC divers essential to underwater research

    U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) dive teams are called upon for a myriad of operations. Whether performing underwater inspections, maintenance or construction tasks, these teams are essential for maintaining the safety and functionality of the nation’s infrastructure. As a part of that cadre, the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) dive team is no different.
