Bridging the Gap: The Critical role of Navy Scientists in Strengthening Operational Lethality

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global is on a mission to strengthen U.S. naval capabilities by bridging the gap between scientists and warfighters who serve at sea. One of the ways the command does so is through the Scientist-to-Sea (S2S) program, which invites U.S. government and industry-partner scientists and engineers to experience Navy installations and ships in-person whenever possible.

New Breathing Training Program for Pilots is Recognized by Training Industry Association

A TechSolutions sponsored project has been honored with an award from the National Training and Simulation Association (NTSA) for its TS-872 Breathing Dynamics Trainer, created in a collaboration with the Naval Aviation Training Systems and Ranges Program Office at Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR PMA-205) and the Naval Medical Research Center (NMRC). TechSolutions is a department within the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global, which quickly responds to viable requests for new or improved technologies or systems from Sailors and Marines. In the case of the Breathing Dynamics Trainer, Jason Payne, director, TechSolutions, said there was already training for pilots to experience hypoxia (low oxygen) using the Mask on Breathing Device (MOBD). However, TechSolutions received a request to expand its capabilities so that pilots could experience the effects of other breathing issues in a safe training environment, such as hyperoxia (too much oxygen) and excessive inhalation/exhalation pressures.
