| 2/24/26 | ![]() #47: From the Frontlines to the Homefront: Battlefield Damage Assessment Tool is helping with natural disaster response | What if a tool designed for combat could become a lifeline in the wake of natural disasters? The Battlefield Damage Assessment Tool, a system that provides rapid analysis in combat environments, has been deployed to help first responders allocate key resources more efficiently following wildfires and hurricanes. We discuss the technology and its development with ERDC’s Nikki Wayant and Charlotte Ellison, researchers from the Geospatial Research Laboratory. Topics include how the technology was first used by emergency officials following the 2023 Hawaii wildfires (2:52), how the information helps emergency management officials (5:42), and some of the key data sources the system uses to provide its assessment (7:30). We also discuss how the team’s interdisciplinary makeup enabled a better product (14:35), the tool’s future capabilities (16:28), and the team being named an Innovation of the Year in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (19:58).

| 2/17/26 | ![]() #46: Building Capacity for Discovery: Craftsmen, technicians work behind the scenes to bring ERDC research to life | We are exploring a pair of unsung teams whose efforts magnify ERDC’s research capabilities. That includes three fabrication shops where master craftsmen – welders, machinists and model makers – turn research concepts into a tangible reality. Meanwhile, ERDC’s Directorate of Public Works, or DPW, is responsible for maintaining the organization’s facilities and infrastructure – including the massive demands for power and water to accommodate large-scale research projects. Together, these teams enable ERDC to execute world-class R&D. Joining us to discuss these unique capabilities are ERDC DPW chief Jonathan Howell and Zach Smith, program manager of ERDC’s R&D fabrication group. Topics include the types of projects supported by ERDC’s master craftsmen (4:25), the unique infrastructure and utility demands at an R&D organization (10:40), and the capabilities found on both teams (19:27).

| 2/10/26 | ![]() #45: Robot coyote prototype blends engineering with natural world expertise | Bird strikes are a persistent and costly threat to aviation safety. According to the Federal Aviation Administration, more than 13,000 strikes are reported in the U.S. each year, costing hundreds of millions in damages and endangering both civilian and military aircraft. We are joined by ERDC’s Dr. Jake Jung and Dr. Brian Washburn with the U.S. Department of Agriculture – both research wildlife biologists – to discuss how these two organizations are working to develop innovative tools and techniques to address this complex problem. Among the innovations discussed is the “robot coyote,” a ground-based drone that has shown tremendous potential in helping manage the vast spaces of civilian and military airfields, keeping people and aircraft safe. During this episode, we explore the natural factors that attract birds and other wildlife to airfields (1:34), current techniques and technologies being used to deter them (3:52), and the genesis for the idea that led to the development of the Robot Coyote system (09:16). We also discuss early prototypes and testing of the system (14:03), how the platforms could be deployed on military and civilian airfields across the country (17:29), what capabilities the upgraded version of the Robot Coyotes may have (25:21), and how the story of the Robot Coyotes became a viral sensation during the summer of 2025 (32:01).

| 2/3/26 | ![]() #44: Frontline Robotics: Enabling safer execution of one of the Army’s most dangerous tasks | Combat engineers perform some of the military’s most dangerous duties, from breaching obstacles and clearing minefields to constructing front-line defensive positions while under enemy assault. ERDC’s Robotics for Engineer Operations – or REO – program is helping them do so safely. REO develops robotic capabilities that allow combat engineers to operate from safe standoff distances. These wide-ranging autonomous and teleoperated systems reduce risk while also multiplying force capacity and providing autonomous reconnaissance. We discuss REO with Dr. Ahmet Soylemezoglu, systems engineer at ERDC’s Construction Engineering Research Laboratory and REO project lead. Topics include how REO began and its evolution (1:05), the challenges of incorporating autonomy in a combat environment (11:43) and how the effort benefits from the diverse skillsets of its team members (14:58). We also talk about industry and academic partnerships (20:48), lessons learned from field demonstrations (24:48), emergency response applications (28:31) and efforts to incorporate multi-machine teaming (31:52). Watch a video of this podcast on our website at www.PowerofERDCPodcast.org/44-REO_video. You can also see additional resources at www.PowerofERDCPodcast.org/44-REO_resources.

| 1/27/26 | ![]() #43: Strengthening the joint force with mechanics-based pavement innovation | When most people think about the military being ready for the fight, they picture aircraft and vehicles, not the pavements beneath them. We talk with Dr. Jeremy Stache, a research civil engineer at ERDC’s Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory, about why pavement science is essential to military mobility and power projection. Topics include the direct connection between pavement science and Army mobility (:52), the shift to mechanics-based models for pavement design (9:25), and the ability to model buried structures and risk (11:10). We also discuss how the research translates into helping commanders understand whether a runway is safe to use (17:43), how it supported the Army 250th Birthday parade (19:53), and how sensors and artificial intelligence will support next-generation decision making (24:51).

| 1/20/26 | ![]() #42 Constructing AI’s Future | Artificial intelligence is no longer science fiction. Today, AI is powering critical processes across the Department of War and serving as a force multiplier throughout the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ military and civil works portfolios. In this episode of the Power of ERDC podcast, Dr. Robert Moser, director of ERDC’s Information Technology Laboratory, discusses how ERDC is developing AI tools, techniques and technologies into tangible, mission-ready solutions for the nation. Moser also provides an inside look at AI in action — from practical applications like the AI model Jobsite Assisted Quality Intelligence, or JAQI, used for construction management to the visionary concept of an “AI wingman” for the modern Warfighter.

| 1/13/26 | ![]() #41: Antarctic Expertise: ‘Explorer’ has helped shape, advance cold regions engineering | George Blaisdell’s career is one for the record books. His contributions to engineering in one of the world’s most inhospitable environments are legendary, but for a man with more than 30 trips to Antarctica, the work is far from over. Today’s guest is Blaisdell, a research civil engineer with ERDC’s Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory. We discuss the importance of a constant engineering and research presence in the Antarctic and Blaisdell’s lasting impact on that continent through a variety of leadership roles for ERDC and the National Science Foundation. Among his many recognitions, Blaisdell was recently accepted into the prestigious Explorers Club, whose members include Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay, the first to reach the top of Mount Everest, and Neil Armstrong, the first to walk on the moon.

| 1/6/26 | ![]() #40: Engineering at the water's edge: Advancing capabilities through modeling, autonomy and industry partnerships | Dr. Gaurav Savant, Senior Scientific Technical Manager at the ERDC Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory, discusses how ERDC is transforming military and civil operations through advanced modeling, AI and autonomous systems. From ensuring safe wet gap crossings for Warfighters to revolutionizing water resource management, these innovations are reshaping the future of defense and engineering. Topics include Savant’s role as a Fulbright Specialist and how that program fosters global collaboration (:42), the ConAer project for expeditionary logistics and last-mile tactical delivery (4:29), and technologies that enhance safety and effectiveness in wet gap crossings (11:44). We also talk about ERDC’s role in developing autonomous resupply and low-profile vessels (14:45), the evolving role computational fluid dynamics (CFD) plays with AI and quantum computing (17:35), and how industry and academic collaborations are driving innovation (22:04).
