Hydrologic Engineering Center - Corps of Engineers
The Hydrologic Engineering Center (HEC) supports the corps of Engineers in its water
resources management responsibilities by increasing the technical capability in hydrologic
engineering and analytical planning. It also provides leadership in improving the
state-of-the-art hydrologic engineering and planning analysis.
HEC provides technical assistance, publications, video tapes, and training seminars.
Surface and ground-water hydrology, flood statistics, drought statistics, flood control,
reservoir operation, water quality, flood damage, floodplain hydrology and hydraulics,
fluvial hydraulics, hydropower, water supply, urban hydrology, and software for
engineering are the main technical areas.
Electronic Proving Ground
The Electronic Proving Ground is the Army's primary facilitator for the conduct of
electronics equipment testing, involving communications, electronics, electro-optics,
electronic warfare, intelligence, surveillance, and radar systems. Areas of expertise
include testing and evaluation, tempest testing, antenna testing, and EMI/EMC.
Yuma Proving Ground
The Yuma Proving Ground conducts development tests on munitions and weapons, air
delivery, aircraft armament and tank-automotive. It is the only desert environmental
testing facility within DOD that represents the harshest desert conditions in the world.
