The Office of Naval Research demonstrated two systems designed to make it easier for Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) and Fire Support Marines to train.

The Department of the Navy's agile Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) programs announced today $30 million in rapid-funding opportunities through a new Broad Agency Announcement, which is a request for scientific or research proposals, through May 28.

ONR recently participated in the 2020 JROBOT Summit, which discussed bringing more robotics systems into sustainment.

During the 2020 Trident Warrior exercise, Office of Naval Research-funded scientists dropped sensor buoys to study underwater conditions.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) — and its international arm, ONR Global — participated in the recent Autonomous Warrior 2023 (AW23) exercise, located at HMAS Creswell in Jervis Bay, Australia.

The Space Sensor & Effects objective is to develop and experiment with key technology enablers that provide effective and resilient Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance & Targeting (ISRT) capabilities as affordable and proliferated space-borne sensors for littoral & maritime environments.

A dynamic era in naval oceanography recently ended as the iconic Floating Instrument Platform — popularly known as FLIP — was officially retired from service. Built in 1962 with funding from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), FLIP helped generations of scientists and oceanographers better understand the mysteries of the sea, including internal waves, air-sea interaction and long-range sound propagation. Sadly, age and exorbitant life-extension costs resulted in the platform being disestablished. On Aug. 3, a solemn gathering of well-wishers watched as FLIP was towed, at sunset, to a dismantling and recycling facility. Last month, a formal good-bye ceremony was hosted by the Marine Physical Laboratory at the University of California, San Diego (UCSD). Though retired, FLIP will live on at Scripps. One of its booms (crane-like arms for suspending instruments) will be installed on the Scripps research pier in La Jolla and used to deploy instruments. Also, artifacts from the platform will be displayed in a permanent exhibit at Scripps’ Birch Aquarium.
