In dense urban environments and on the battlefield, our Warfighters must be prepared to face numerous threats, including toxic industrial chemicals, which can significantly hinder military operations.
To help the Army bolster its force protection measures, computational chemistry experts from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) are applying groundbreaking methods to help predict chemical threats before they impact mission success.
Watch to learn more about how this team transforms physical principles into algorithmic models that can predict the behavior of chemicals and materials.
The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center's (ERDC) Construction Engineering Research Laboratory (CERL) is working to enhance energy resilience by integrating hydrogen as a sustainable energy source. Their efforts focus on developing hydrogen energy solutions to support military operations, aiming to improve energy independence at Department of Defense (DoD) installations. A key demonstration was the hydrogen-powered fuel cell...
The U.S. Army is taking a giant leap into the future of military construction with the debut of its first-ever additively constructed (3D-printed) Army barracks in Fort Bliss, Texas, and the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) played an important role in making the demonstration successful.
VICKSBURG, Miss. – In an effort to enhance acquisition programs for all branches of the U.S. military, a team of engineers and technical experts from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) have developed a cloud-based digital engineering environment that includes specific hardware, a variety of design tools and access to high-performance computing.
This technology was put to use when the ERDC’s Information...
The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) took a significant step in transforming contingency construction. In November 2024, researchers conducted a seismic test on an eco-conscious mass timber shelter that highlights the future of relocatable Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) structures. This test assessed the performance and safety of the first prototype of a CLT shelter made from thermally modified coastal western hemlock.
