The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) and its Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) announce the release of the FY23 USACE R&D Annual Report, a deep dive into the innovation and critical thinking throughout the organization to tackle tough engineering challenges and transform future operations. The report highlights dozens of ongoing projects and programs being executed in USACE’s premier research laboratories and the ways in which the techniques and technologies developed in those laboratories are being deployed across the USACE enterprise. During FY23, the research portfolio exceeded $2.4 billion, a record that reflects the historic levels of USACE’s mission. The report also examines USACE’s diverse and talented research and development workforce and the cutting-edge technologies and facilities that aid those research programs. From discovering new techniques that incorporate robotics to leveraging the power of artificial intelligence to improving critical dredge operations to vital research supporting our military, USACE R&D has found ways to deliver programs better, faster and safer than ever before.
