New hull coatings being developed by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) are showing promise in reducing the build-up of marine crustaceans – namely barnacles – on ships´ hulls, optimizing vessel performance and dramatically reducing fuel costs.

At the recent year-end Defense Manufacturing Conference, a Navy National Shipbuilding Research Program project titled: Naval Submarine & Carrier Propulsion Shipbuilding Research Program project titled: Naval Submarine & Carrier Propulsion Manufacturing Technology Achievement Award.

Seeking to promote the exchange of ideas in the global science and technology community, the Office of Naval Research recently hosted

After nearly a decade of investment and collaboration involving Hollywood set designers and military experts on virtual reality, engineers with the Office of Naval Research’s (ONR) warfighter-focused TechSolutions Program recently delivered another cutting-edge technology to the Marine Corps Systems Command Gruntworks facility located in Stafford, Va

The Navy Metalworking Center (NMC) presented its current and planned projects to the Metals Subpanel of the Joint Defense Manufacturing Technology Panel (JDMTP) July 20-21 at Concurrent Technologies Corporation (CTC) in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.

An innovative laser imaging technique, developed with funding from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), could cut more than 7,700 man hours from the manufacturing cycle of VIRGINIA-Class Submarines (VCS).

Electric Boat (EB) has successfully piloted a new laser imaging system that enables EB’s Quonset Point facility to automate the layout of attachments during early outfitting stages of VIRGINIA-Class Submarine (VCS) construction.

The Navy is seeking solutions to reduce weight and lower the center of gravity for surface ships to improve their performance at a reasonable cost. LASer-welded corrugated-CORe (LASCOR) metallic sandwich panels are stiff, lightweight steel structures that offer the Navy corrosion resistance, reduced weight and less distortion.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) has been selected by the Pentagon to manage a critical, one-of-a-kind futuristic training program in which warfighters would train here at home in preparation for the types of small, urban and borderless conflicts that have spread throughout the middle east and other regions of the world.

Work done on a Navy Metalworking Center (NMC) project was recognized with a 2008 Defense Manufacturing Technology Achievement Award, which is given by the Department of Defense Joint Defense Manufacturing Technology Panel (JDMTP).
