The Office of Naval Research's Propulsor Hydrodynamics and Hydroacoustics program explores science and technology related to the physics of fluid flow around propulsors to improve the Navy’s propulsor design capability for improved stealth, efficiency and mobility.

The Office of Naval Research's Applied Physical Mathematics program focuses on new foundational theory and experimental approaches to areas concerning wave, energy, heat, and momentum dynamics.

ONR SCOUT is an ongoing, multiagency experimentation campaign to identify new ways to bring unmanned technologies to warfighter problems, test them in realistic operating conditions and get them to the fleet and force. SCOUT is committed to partnering with industry to get nontraditional, commercial-off-the-shelf, government-developed and/or government-sponsored technologies to the fleet rapidly.

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.
