Peacetime Innovation and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers: Managing Technology for Industrial Application
1993
Dornstauder, Alex C.
This monograph introduces potential strategic roles for the US Army Corps of Engineers in the development of technology for industrial applications. Specifically, the market for remediation of hazardous wastes at sites in the United States, both military and private, is explored. The innovation environment, that is, the quantity and lethality of hazardous wastes at military sites is introduced to highlight its efficacy in developing high risk, high payoff remediation technologies. A number of remediation technologies are also introduced along with their relative progress towards industrial application. The primary conclusion is that the US Army Corps of Engineers can effectively and more efficiently bring new remediation technologies to private industry than private industry itself. This would be done by using the corps' organic construction management assets at contaminated military sites in a test bed or incubator fashion to hedge high market risk and post-project liability.
