Information Technology Laboratory

The premier Department of Defense laboratory for development and application of advanced information technology to military engineering and Army civil works mission areas.

The Information Technology Laboratory (ITL) is the preeminent engineering information technology organization in the Department of Defense (DoD). ITL supports the research missions of U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC), other Corps activities, the Army, DoD, and other agencies by conceiving, planning, managing, conducting, and coordinating research and development (R&D) in high performance computing, computer-aided and interdisciplinary engineering, computer science, information technology, and instrumentation systems. Through a balanced program of R&D and demonstration, ITL advances the Army's knowledge and ability to use advanced information technology to address a wide range of engineering and scientific challenges.

ITL grew from a small Automated Data Processing Center in the U.S. Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station to full-fledged laboratory status in 1986. In 1999, ITL consolidated with seven other U.S. Army Corps of Engineers laboratories to become a part of ERDC. In 2002, ITL achieved new impetus and direction with the reorganization of its management structure. By redefining its goals, ITL is positioned to further the mission and goals of ERDC, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Army, DoD and the Nation.
