ONR Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) #N00014-23-S-B003 for Science and Technology for Advanced Manufacturing Projects (STAMP)

ONR Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) N0001424SB002: Office of Naval Research Science and Technology for Advanced Manufacturing Projects (STAMP)

The Ocean Battlespace Sensing Department explores science and technology in the ocean battlespace environment.

The Materials Focus Area is materials science and engineering to enhance the performance, affordability, survivability and reliability of the future and legacy Navy and Marine Corps systems and platforms.

Today, the White House Office of Science, Technology, and Policy (OSTP) released the “National Strategy for Aquatic Environmental DNA.” The Environmental DNA (eDNA) Task Team had 10 federal agencies participating in drafting the strategy and included significant scoping and engagement of the private sector, academia and non-profit organizations.

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.

The International Cooperative Engagement Program for Polar Research (ICE-PPR) International Workshop for Sea Ice and Icebergs was held recently at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The workshop attendees focused on three areas: science and technology researchers who study data and create new algorithms or sensors; the centers that produce ice analysis products for mariners; and the operators themselves, personnel from the U.S. and Canadian Navies and Coast Guards who have operated ships in polar regions.

The Office of Naval Research's Materials & Processes for Additive Manufacturing (AM) program is focused on exploring new and novel approaches in developing and understanding AM materials and manufacturing processes for naval applications.

The Office of Naval Research's Computer-Aided Materials Design (CAMD) program funds research projects in materials design.

The Office of Naval Research's Metamaterials program supports basic research on optical and acoustic metamaterials to control light and sound propagation over a large frequency range.
