BAA "Characterization to Understand the Basis for Surface Coating Performance Attainment, Retention, and Loss with Alternative Material Development and Performa...

Added:Feb 01, 2018 1:04 am The U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) has issued a Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) for various research and development topic areas. The ERDC consists of the Coastal and Hydraulics Lab (CHL), the Geotechnical and Structures Lab (GSL), the Reachback Operations Center (UROC), the Environmental Lab (EL) and the Information Technology Lab (ITL) in Vicksburg, Mississippi, the Cold Regions Research and Engineering Lab (CRREL) in Hanover, New Hampshire, the Construction Engineering Research Lab (CERL) in Champaign, Illinois, and the Geospatial Research Laboratory (GRL) in Alexandria, Virginia. The ERDC is responsible for conducting research in the broad fields of hydraulics, dredging, coastal engineering, instrumentation, oceanography, remote sensing, geotechnical engineering, earthquake engineering, soil effects, vehicle mobility, self-contained munitions, military engineering, geophysics, pavements, protective structures, aquatic plants,

water quality, dredged material, treatment of hazardous waste, wetlands, physical/mechanical/ chemical properties of snow and other frozen precipitation, infrastructure and environmental issues for installations, computer science, telecommunications management, energy, facilities maintenance, materials and structures, engineering processes, environmental processes, land and heritage conservation, and ecological processes. The BAA is available as an attachment to this posting and is also available at http://erdc.usace.army.mil. The BAA is open until superseded. Proposals may be accepted at any time.For questions regarding proposals to CHL, GSL, EL, ITL, CRREL, and UROC submit your question to the following e-mail address:ERDC-BAA@usace.army.mil. You may also contact Frank Spears at 601-634-3908 or via email atFrank.Spears@usace.army.mil.For questions regarding proposals to CERL and GRL, contact Andrea Thomas at 217-373-6746 or via email atAndrea.J.Thomas@usace.army.mil.Contact the technical personnel listed at the end of each topic area for questions concerning the topic areas themselves.Added:Aug 02, 2018 12:23 pm Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) Proposal - "Modeling the vulnerability of ecosystem and wildlife habitats to permafrost thaw, altered fire regime, and hydrologic changes on Interior Alaska DoD training lands"Added:Oct 31, 2018 2:42 pm The objective of this project is to advance energy efficient technologies for use with deployable rigid wall shelters, used in multiple operational military applications to include two field demonstrations with additional testing and analysis of performance data at EFOB-L (CERL) and CBITEC (Fort Leonard Wood). In addition, this project will evaluate the use of mobile power meters as part of the demonstrated systems to better understand the electrical loads, power quality, frequency variations and load balancing when operating these deployable rigid wall shelters with advanced energy efficient technologies in various operational modes.
