Achievements
Achievements and successes of the Navy ManTech program are numerous and varied.
Navy Manufacturing Technology
Managed within the Office of Naval Research (ONR), the Navy ManTech Program provides for the development of enabling manufacturing technology and the transition of this technology for the production and sustainment of Navy weapon systems to support the Fleet.
Combating Coronavirus: Navy Provides Protective Gear to First Responders
To equip those on the front lines of coronavirus response, the Naval Undersea Warfare Center (NUWC) Division Keyport—in partnership with the U.S. Navy’s Tech Bridge program—manufactured over 500 face shields and personal protection equipment for first responders at two hospitals and naval commands in the state of Washington.
Coronavirus Defense: Navy Develops 3D-Printed Tactical Masks for U.S. Forces Korea
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global TechSolutions is working with multiple partners to develop prototypes of 3D-printable (also called additive manufactured) masks for use at Camp Humphreys in South Korea.
Down Under Demo: ONR Touts Additive Manufacturing Tech at Australian Event
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.
Navy Strengthens Defense Industrial Base with New Small Business Funding Opportunity
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.
Metamaterials
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.
Electric Boat Competition Sparks Interest in Naval Science Careers
Student engineering teams from Princeton, Washington College and the University of Alabama have won first place in their respective events at the “Promoting Electric Propulsion” (PEP) boat races, sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE). In just six years, this electric boat-building competition has grown from a single university to 34, with more than 200 students who took part in the five-mile races on Broad Bay in Virginia Beach. Dr. Steve Russell, program officer, Sea Warfare and Weapons department, said he launched the PEP competition with a colleague from ASNE, Dr. Leigh McCue, and Tim Cullis, Naval Sea Warfare Center Carderock, after seeing a public race by local hobbyists in the Chesapeake Bay.
Operational Endurance from Environmental Carbon
The Office of Naval Research's Operational Endurance from Environmental Carbon program seeks technology development to support sustainable carbon neutral operational energy processes and materials for U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps needs.
Thermal Science and Engineering
The Office of Naval Research's Thermal Science and Engineering program advances thermal science through fundamental studies of multi-phase heat transfer, fluid dynamics and nanostructured materials.
