Dynamic Front

The next iteration of exercise Dynamic Front takes place from Nov. 4-24, 2024 in Finland, Estonia, Germany, Poland, and Romania. It demonstrates NATO’s ability to share fire missions, target information, and operational graphics from the Arctic to the Black Sea.
The exercise increases the lethality of the Alliance through long-distance fires, builds unit readiness in a complex joint, multi-national environment, and leverages host nation capabilities to increase USARUER-AF’s operational reach. Dynamic Front is planned to include more than 1,800 U.S. and 3,700 multi-national service members from 28 Allied and partner nations.

ERDC-CRREL scientists install sensor-laden buoys in one of the planet’s “hardest places” to reach

An arduous, three-week mission recently took a team of scientists and technicians from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory to the outer reaches of earthbound travel, all in an effort to help NASA better understand Arctic sea ice melting.

As part of NASA's ARCSIX research program, Dr. Chris Polashenski, Tricia Nelsen and Roy Hessner engineered and deployed specially modified, sensor-laden buoys into the Arctic Ocean north of Canada and Greenland near the North Pole.

Since their successful deployment, the buoys have continued to drift with the ice while reporting data, which the public can access in real time at cryosphereinnovation.com/data. The autonomous sites are now the foundation of NASA’s ongoing airborne sea ice observing campaign that is conducting regular overflights of the buoys out of Pituffik Space Force Base in Greenland.
