Directorates
ONR’s directorates balance a robust science and technology (S&T) portfolio, allocating funds to meet the warfighter's requirements.

Canines Sniff Out Danger, Save Lives
Specialty canines were on a mission to sniff out trouble and display their explosive-detecting abilities Jan. 18 as part of an ONR-hosted “Top Dog Demo 2012.” (See more photos on ONR's Facebook page.)
ONR and its partners have been working to improve the canines in three primary areas: nutrition and physiology; stress and cognition; and olfaction, or sense of smell. The Top Dog technical demonstration at Southern Pines, N.C., was an opportunity for senior naval leadership overseeing the Improvised Explosive Device (IED) Detector Dog 2.0 Project to see the canines in action.
