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.

Deployable Expedient Traffic Entry Regulator (DETER)

The Deployable Expedient Traffic Entry Regulator (DETER) is an active vehicle barrier developed by ERDC’s Geotechnical & Structures Laboratory that serves as an expedient access control solution to protect critical assets and soft targets from vehicular attacks.

Autonomous Pressure Profile Recorder (APPR)

ERDC’s novel distributed Autonomous Pressure Profile Recorder (APPR) system changes the game for how properties of an explosion are collected.

Bedload Transport Measurement Method

Bedload (sand and other sediment in flowing water) is an important natural resource that, without careful management, can cause costly delays in commercial navigation and potential damage to infrastructure.

Munitions Compound Detection and Removal System

ERDC innovators have developed a new system to both detect and remove harmful Munitions and Explosives of Concern (MEC) from water.

High Volume Air Stream Water Recovery System

ERDC innovators have developed a novel high volume air stream water recovery system that harvests drinkable water from air or wastewater.

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.
