The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) recently hosted six cadets from the U.S. Military Academy and U.S. Air Force Academy for a hands-on research and development experience in support of its Intelligent Environmental Battlespace Awareness Program.
The two-week internship focused on field data collection at the U.S. Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center in Bridgeport, California, and modeling development at ERDC’s Environmental Laboratory in Vicksburg, Mississippi.
The work the cadets performed during their time at ERDC will have real world impacts. Data collected will be used to inform predictive global vegetation models that can be used to inform military operational planning.
