Marines in Hawaii recently demonstrated that handheld devices and automation software could speed delivery of critical supplies to the front lines and even help planners determine when and where items will be needed ahead of time.

Hunches are 50-50 propositions, but Navy researchers want to know if those facing the unexpected in the heat of battle can be trained to guess right more often than not.

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.

The Reserve Organization of America (ROA) recently honored Lt. Cmdr. Richard D. Harvey with the 2023 Junior Officer of the Year award for his service at the Office of Naval Research.

A recent activity was executed with participants from Denmark, Canada and the United States using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to deploy GPS tags onto icebergs near Disko Bay, Greenland.

The Ground Renewable Expeditionary ENergy System (GREENS) is a 300-watt, photovoltaic/battery system -- powered by the sun -- that provides continuous power to Marines in the field.

An Office of Naval Research (ONR)-supported enterprise is bringing sweeping changes to electric power and energy education at universities throughout the country.

An Office of Naval Research-sponsored effort is moving closer to assisting federal law enforcement officials.

Building an Aircraft Carreir Hull is No Small Matter In shipbuilding, some things never change...When its first steel-hulled ships were being built in the late 19th century, the Navy was a tough customer. Not only was the shipbuilder required to conform to the 'tests of steel' prescribed by the...

The competition—sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International Foundation—is an autonomous robotics challenge where teams put their autonomous surface vehicles through a marked navigation channel and a series of challenges. The goal is to boost student interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics and to inspire them to follow a naval career in these fields.
