ERDC Featured Technologies: See What Patents are Hot

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.

Hardened Alternative Trailer Systems (HATS) Technologies

Innovators at ERDC’s Geotechnical and Structures Lab have developed and deployed in the field a suite of exceptional shelter systems called the Hardened Alternative Trailer System (HATS).

Modular Guard Tower System (MGTS)

Secure people and assets with ERDC Modular Guard Tower Systems, an armored structure offering heavy blast and ballistic protection in low-cost system

Blast, Ballistic, and Forced-Entry-Resistant Operable Windows and Doors

For the first time, ERDC’s blast, ballistic, and forced-entry resistant operable windows and doors combine superior bulletproof fortification with the versatility of a sliding window or pre-hung door.

Modular Protective Systems Expedient Guard Tower (MPS-GT)

ERDC innovators have developed a multi-purpose Modular Protection System Expedient Guard Tower (MPS-GT) that is significantly more lightweight and easier to assemble than conventional structures.

Containerized Medical Solutions (CMS)

ERDC’s novel Containerized Medical Solutions (CMS) are medical isolation rooms made from prefabricated ISO containers such as PODS.

Modular Protective System for Overhead Cover (MPS-OHC)

Innovators at ERDC have developed the MPS-OHC, a transportable system providing 360° protection from blast, ballistic, and natural penetration forces.

Portable Gamma Radiation Detector

Innovators at ERDC’s Environmental Laboratory have developed a compact, lightweight gamma radiation detector that provides directional sensing without the need for the large, heavy shielding -- a necessary part of every physical collimator.

Expedient Retrofit for Existing Buildings (EREB)

Engineers at ERDC’s Geotechnical & Structures Laboratory have pioneered the MPS EREB to protect buildings from blast and fragmentation damage, as well as damage from heavy winds.

induction Hot Mix Asphalt (iHMA)

Innovators at ERDC’s Geotechnical & Structures Laboratory have developed a rapid method for pothole repairs called induction Hot Mix Asphalt (iHMA) that works on demand in the field.

Photocatalytic Water Treatment

Innovators at ERDC’s Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory have created multi-spectral photocatalytic compounds to remove microbes such as pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and personal-care products from wastewater.

Water Filtration Membranes Using Chitosan and Recyclable Graphene Oxide

Researchers at ERDC’s Environmental Lab have developed a water filtration membrane that combines strength and durability with the thinness required to treat water on a large scale.

Aggressor Vehicle Entry Readiness Technology (AVERT)

The Aggressor Vehicle Entry Readiness Technology (AVERT) is a proven vehicle-barrier technology developed by ERDC’s Geotechnical & Structures Laboratory that stops vehicles in their tracks.
