Innovative research by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center into sustainable materials and their use in construction is literally the backbone of a military barracks project that recently broke ground at Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Washington. The one-of-a-kind facility, scheduled for completion in FY27, will feature sustainable building materials and design techniques informed by ERDC research as part of the U.S. Army’s initiative to increase resiliency and efficiency in its facilities. During the construction process, researchers will track Environmental Product Data, schedule variances and material costs, and then analyze that data in a lifecycle analysis of the building. This will mark the first time that data will be collected for monitoring the lifecycle from a materials standpoint of everything that will go into a building.

Toryon Evans, a The University of Texas at Arlington industrial engineering major, recently completed his internship at the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC). Evans worked with the Systems Engineering Research Branch, part of the ERDC Information Technology Laboratory. “The environment at ERDC is incredibly welcoming, and the team is always willing to help. They don’t expect you to come in knowing everything, which makes it a great place for learning and growth,” Evans said. “What stood out to me the most was the chance to work closely with professionals and sit in on meetings with military personnel from bases across the country. It was fascinating to see how they operate and understand the significance of the work being done.” During his internship, Evans worked on a project called “Sensor Performance and Emplacement in Arctic Regions,” which analyzes sensor performance in Arctic conditions. Evans conducted a literature review on the effects of Arctic conditions on sensor performance and infrastructure, developing an experimental plan to integrate these findings into the current agent-based model. He presented his work at the United States Department of Defense HBCU/MI Opportunities Workshop and Intern Seminar in Washington D.C. “I am incredibly grateful for this opportunity and the professional growth it has afforded me,” he said. “I’ve learned the importance of asking questions, keeping communication clear and straightforward, and maintaining a proactive attitude.” #engineer #engineering #student #education #internship #career #careeropportunity #engineering #industrialengineering #texas #universityoftexas #arlington #informationtechnology #hbcu #hbcumi #arctic #sensors #sensortechnology #infrastructure #military #experience #training #science #innovation #technology #research #researchanddevelopment #PowerofERDC

Maj. Gen. Kim Colloton, Deputy Commanding General for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) recently visited the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) facilities in Vicksburg, Miss. Maj. Gen. Kimberly Peeples, Commanding General, USACE Mississippi Valley Division, was also part of the visiting group. During their visit, the USACE leaders were given presentations on the historical perspective of artificial development and current efforts across the USACE enterprise to deploy AI in STEM and business applications. They viewed demonstrations on AI-enabled systems for engineering, construction and contingency operations. The tour also included an overview of the High-Performance Computing Modernization Program, which facilitates much of ERDC’s testbed and computing capabilities to support AI missions in USACE, and how AI is being used in research operations such as understanding the behavior of endangered species and discovering new efficiencies in USACE dredging operations.

Scientists with the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) recently completed a challenging mission deploying ice mass balance buoys in the Lincoln Sea, north of Greenland and Canada’s Ellesmere Island. Dr. Chris Polashenski, a research geophysicist, Roy Hessener, an engineering technician, and Tricia Nelsen, a research physical scientist, all with the ERDC Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory, conducted the project that is in support of NASA’s ARCSIX program. ARCSIX (Arctic Radiation-Cloud-Aerosol-Surface Interaction Experiment) studies many of the factors that add to the Arctic’s summer surface radiation budget and impact the early melt season, which is May through mid-July. CRREL’s portion of the mission – through the deployment of the buoys – was aimed at measuring ice properties, net radiation budget, meteorological variables and Navy-relevant upper ocean properties on sea ice. Using ski-equipped aircraft, the team deployed the buoys in an area known for its thick ice and minimal motion. After successful deployment, the sensors now drift with the ice, providing continuous real-time data and forming the basis for NASA’s ongoing sea ice observations from Pituffik Space Base in Greenland. The mission’s success further reinforced ERDC’s vital role in Arctic research and the ability of its research teams to execute high-risk operations.
