The Office of Naval Research's Ocean Acoustics program supports basic research that addresses fundamental understandings of the physics relating to underwater sound.

The Ocean Engineering and Marine Systems program seeks to provide a knowledge framework for advanced engineering methodologies and to accelerate the transition of basic research developments into advanced marine platform systems with applications to unmanned surveillance and monitoring systems for the naval forces and at-sea experimental capabilities for the ocean sciences community.

The Office of Naval Research's Physical Oceanography program is interested in receiving research planning letters on topics related to our primary focus areas of mesoscale and sub-mesoscale ocean processes, air-sea interaction, new ocean observing technologies and the education of the next generation of scientists.

The goal of the Office of Naval Research's Undersea Signal Processing program is to develop signal processing algorithms that improve the Navy's ability to detect, identify and locate submarines in shallow and deep ocean environments.

The Arctic and Global Prediction program is motivated by the observed changes in the physical Arctic environment, and the desire to better understand and predict this environment at a variety of time and space scales.

The Littoral Geosciences and Optics program (ONR 322LO) supports basic and applied research for expeditionary warfare, naval special warfare, mine warfare and antisubmarine warfare in shelf, near-shore, estuarine, riverine and riparian environments, with a particular emphasis on robust 4D prediction of environmental characteristics in denied, distant or remote environments.

The goal of the surface ship hydrodynamics and dynamics research area is to develop increased understanding and predictive simulation capabilities of nonlinear interaction of surface ship and ocean environment, free surface turbulence, surface ship dynamics, and hydrodynamic loads in relevant operation environment.

The Science of Autonomy program is part of the Office of Naval Research's Naval Air Warcraft and Weapons Department.

The Office of Naval Research's Marine Meteorology and Space program sponsors innovative basic and applied research in the broad thrust areas of atmospheric prediction, atmospheric effects, air-sea interaction and marine boundary layer processes and space environment.

The Marine Mammals and Biology (MMB) program supports basic and applied research and technology development related to understanding the effects of sound on marine mammals, including physiological, behavioral, ecological and population-level effects.
