#44: Frontline Robotics: Enabling safer execution of one of the Army’s most dangerous tasks

February 3, 2026 Christopher Kieffer Military Engineering 0:40:15 0 Comments

Combat engineers perform some of the military’s most dangerous duties, from breaching obstacles and clearing minefields to constructing front-line defensive positions while under enemy assault. ERDC’s Robotics for Engineer Operations – or REO – program is helping them do so safely. REO develops robotic capabilities that allow combat engineers to operate from safe standoff distances….

#43: Strengthening the joint force with mechanics-based pavement innovation

January 27, 2026 Christopher Kieffer Civil Works, Military Engineering 0:27:41 0 Comments

When most people think about the military being ready for the fight, they picture aircraft and vehicles, not the pavements beneath them. We talk with Dr. Jeremy Stache, a research civil engineer at ERDC’s Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory, about why pavement science is essential to military mobility and power projection. Topics include the direct connection…
