#63: Accelerating port assessments for contested logistics

In contested operations, ports are no longer assumed to be available, secure, or fully functional. They are high-risk nodes that can be degraded, denied, or destroyed, placing immediate pressure on logistics timelines and mission execution. Dr. Aaron Byrd, ERDC research civil engineer, is advancing how the Army addresses that challenge. His work centers on developing…

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de9OfDWitXY In contested environments, ports are no longer guaranteed. They are vulnerable, high-value nodes that can determine a mission’s success or failure. In this episode, Dr. Aaron Byrd, ERDC research civil engineer, explains how ERDC is developing tools that help planners rapidly assess port capacity, identify vulnerabilities, and make faster logistics decisions. Learn how the…

#49: Coastal Physical Modeling: Validating for Resilience and Defense

Even in the age of supercomputing, engineers still demand tangible models to fully understand the complex interaction between coastal infrastructure and dynamic ocean forces. ERDC has nearly a century of expertise in building scaled representations of real-world systems and testing them to evaluate civil works and military project designs. We discuss ERDC’s coastal physical modeling…

#46: Building Capacity for Discovery: Craftsmen, technicians work behind the scenes to bring ERDC research to life

We are exploring a pair of unsung teams whose efforts magnify ERDC’s research capabilities. That includes three fabrication shops where master craftsmen – welders, machinists and model makers – turn research concepts into a tangible reality. Meanwhile, ERDC’s Directorate of Public Works, or DPW, is responsible for maintaining the organization’s facilities and infrastructure – including…
