The Organic Photovoltaics program is part of the Office of Naval Research's Sea Warfare and Weapons Department.

The Office of Naval Research's Functional Polymeric and Organic Materials program is focused on exploring the inherent strengths/properties of organic and polymeric materials to bring new capability to the Navy.

The Office of Naval Research's RF Surveillance program focuses on radio frequency (RF) sensors for naval surveillance applications, including surface, shipboard and air. Interest spans the electromagnetic spectrum from HF through mmW, including active and passive, organic as well as distributed RF sensing approaches, including an emphasis on RADAR.

The Explosive Hazards Defeat (EHD) program invests in basic research, applied research and advanced technology development to support development of new capabilities in on-the-move standoff detection and neutralization of explosive hazards.

The Navy ManTech program responds to naval needs for the production and repair of platforms, systems and equipment.

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.

A few of the next generation’s brightest scientists recently had the opportunity to present their research and take part in a meeting of the NATO Science and Technology Board (STB). The STB hosted the event in Helsinki, Finland, Sep. 18-22, marking the first major NATO committee held in Finland since it joined the Alliance in April. The objective of the event was to engage with the next generation of scientists and introduce them to the NATO Science and Technology Organization (STO) by giving them the opportunity to present their research and to take part in a meeting of the STB.

The goal of the Office of Naval Research's Anti-Submarine Warfare program is to develop system components, integrated systems, companion tactical decision aids, and associated training capabilities to improve the Navy’s ability to conduct anti-submarine warfare.

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.

Assessing surf zone conditions has never been an exact science for the Department of the Navy. That’s about to change thanks to a recent request to TechSolutions, which has resulted in new surf observation (SUROB) technology to make operational forecasts more precise. For the past six months, a team of scientists and engineers from the Naval Research Lab (NRL) and the U.S. Army’s Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC) have been developing the technological tools needed to create a more precise surf observation report. In order to gain greater insight into how the surf observation tool may improve warfighter operations, NavalX recently organized a workshop that brought together the science and engineering developers with the Sailors and Marines who would use it. TechSolutions received the request less than a year ago for a technology-driven solution for surf observation from Maj. Zachary Taylor, a technology officer with the Marines’ Warfighting Lab. Within weeks, TechSolutions began working with the development team at NRL and ERDC to come up with a prototype.
