Maneuver-enabling infrastructure is critical to mission success. But building this infrastructure in austere or remote environments comes with significant challenges — from material transport to construction speed.
At the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), researchers are exploring additive construction technology to address these challenges. By combining a portable mixer, custom-built material pump and tower printer, this approach allows the Army to 3D-print infrastructure using local materials, reducing the need to transport heavy supplies overseas.
This innovation not only saves time and money, but also strengthens mission readiness by enabling rapid, flexible solutions for combat support and counter-mobility operations.
Watch to see how ERDC and its industry partners are shaping the future of Army infrastructure.
