Last week, Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Mat Winter addressed the Sixth Symposium on the Impacts of an Ice-Diminishing Arctic on Maritime and Naval Operations.

ONR-sponsored researchers at the University of California Los Angeles have designed the first detailed computer simulation model of an injured human leg, complete with spurting blood.

A team of researchers led by Dr. Rajesh Rao, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Washington, recently published a paper showing how robots can learn much like children—amassing data by watching adults do something, determining the goal of the action and then deciding how to perform it on their own. Rao’s work is sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR).

Aimed at boosting young people’s interest in science and technology careers, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) is sponsoring a team of local high school students as they participate in a robotics competition March 5-6 in Washington, D.C..

Nearly undetectable from the ground, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are widely used by the military to scan terrain for possible threats and intelligence.

The Office of Naval Research supports development of technologies that give our Sailors and Marines increased battlespace awareness and tactical advantage, keep them out of harms way, and improve their performance and quality of life.

An All-Digital Receiver

The Office of Naval Research is looking at birds’ perceptual and maneuvering abilities as inspiration for small unmanned aerial vehicle autonomy, trying to understand why birds make particular flight path choices and how they can do so quickly at higher speeds than would be safe for current engineered air systems in these environments.

The Office of Naval Research led the Navy's subcomponent agencies in the 2011 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government rankings.
