    The Active Management Systems and Methods utilize advanced sensors and control mechanisms designed to detect the early formation of ice on surfaces such as roads, bridges and infrastructure. The system automatically triggers preventive measures, such as the application of heat or ice-reducing materials, ensuring that the environment remains safe and operational without the need for constant human intervention.

    Active Ice Management Systems and Methods: A Breakthrough in Cold-Weather Operations

    The battle against ice in cold-weather operations has taken a significant step forward with the newly patented “Active Ice Management Systems and Methods” (Patent No. 11898315), or AIMS.

    Researchers spread concrete during a full-scale placement conducted at ERDC’s Cold Regions Research Engineering Laboratory (CRREL) Frost Effects Research Facility. Team members from CRREL and ERDC’s Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory collaborated to conduct several full-scale placements of JetCon JC400 rapid-setting concrete as a part of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering’s Foreign Comparative Testing program.

    Two ERDC labs team up for one cool project

    Two ERDC laboratories, the Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory (GSL) and Cold Regions Research Engineering Laboratory (CRREL), collaborated to conduct several full-scale placements of JetCon JC400 rapid-setting concrete as a part of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering’s Foreign Comparative Testing program.
