Thank you for your interest in the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC)’s featured technologies for licensing. ERDC’s innovations are designed to solve military and civil challenges. Note that this site does not include the entire ERDC IP portfolio (entire list found here). This site is to promote those technologies with high potential for industry partnering opportunities.
UV-C Treatment for HAB Suppression (CyanoSTUN™)
• Contains UV-C within the reactor, preventing unintended impacts on the surrounding ecosystem
• Adjusts UV exposure dynamically based on water clarity and treatment goals
• Treats blooms without chemicals or permanent infrastructure
Automated Bead Width Control for 3D Concrete Construction
• Achieves ±¼ inch accuracy in bead width, enabling high-fidelity printing of complex geometries and structural features
• Dynamically adjusts gantry speed and pump settings to accommodate different material properties and design requirements
• Designed for expeditionary and remote use, ensures reliable performance in variable environments
Carbon Nanotubes Engineered for Stability and Scalability
• Uses DNA-wrapped carbon nanotubes and an enzyme-mediated process to link individual nanotubes into visible macroscopic structures without damage
• Solves manipulation challenge through controlled biological process, preserving nanotubes’ superior strength, electrical conductivity, and thermal properties for practical use
• Enables high-performance structural materials for aerospace/automotive, advanced electronics requiring superior conductivity, and applications needing exceptional strength-to-weight ratios and thermal properties
