Environmental Compliance Technology
Abstract
This Project matures and demonstrates technologies transitioned from PE 0602720A (Environmental Quality Technology), Projects 048 and 896, and PE 0602784 (Military Engineering), Projects T41 and T45. This Project assists Army installations and operations in achieving environmental compliance. Army facilities are subject to fines and facility shutdowns for violations of federal, state, and local environmental regulations. Efforts under this Project enable the Army to reduce environmental constraints at installations while complying with the myriad of federal, state, local, and host country environmental regulations and policy. In addition, this project matures capabilities to assess, establish, upgrade, and construct infrastructure to project power and enable deployed force operations. Current and planned efforts enable the Army to perform additive and advanced manufacturing for deployed force infrastructure, support robotic and autonomous engineering during combat operations, and ensure infrastructure resiliency. Technologies demonstrated aim to reduce the cost of resolving compliance issues for the Army, sustain the viability of testing and training ranges, protect critical resources, and expand capacity to perform construction and supporting tasks in high risk/threat and dynamic environments. The work cited is consistent with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering priority focus areas, supports the Army Strategy for the Environment, and supports the Army Modernization Priority for Next Generation Combat Vehicle, Air Missile Defense and Network/C3I. All FY 2020 adjustments align program financial structure to Army Modernization Priorities in support of the National Defense Strategy. Work in this Project is performed by the Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC).
