Sioux Falls, SD, October 22, 2026 —
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is using a human manikin in a research study on the Missouri River near the South Dakota-Nebraska border. The study is scheduled to take place from October 24 through October 30, according to the information provided.
The available description identifies the manikin as part of the study but does not explain its role, what the researchers are examining, or how the work will be conducted. It also does not specify the exact location along the river or provide the year for the October dates.
No findings, expected results or follow-up plans were included in the description. The information does not identify the research team or provide details about whether the study will affect river access or nearby activities. Those points therefore cannot be confirmed from the information available.
The stated details establish the agency, the use of a human manikin, the general study area and the October 24-30 timeframe. Further information about the study’s purpose and methods was not provided. Without those details, the scope and intended application of the research remain unclear.
