Dr. Thomas H. Killion, the Army’s former chief scientist, will lead the ONR office charged with transitioning naval basic research into actual products in the hands of Sailors and Marines. He previously led the Army’s science and engineering corps in discovering new materials that protect Soldiers from deadly roadside bombs.

More than 700 attendees joined the Navy’s Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR)/Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) team April 10-13, 2011.

Vice Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mark Ferguson discussed sequestration Oct. 23 at the ONR S&T Partnership Conference.

Rear Adm. David J. Hahn was sworn in today as the new chief of naval research (CNR) at a change-of-command ceremony at the U.S. Navy Memorial in Washington, D.C.

The Office of Naval Research's Dr. Michael Kassner, director of research, will discuss the Navy's efforts to support and increase the quality of basic research—and to grow the cadre of naval scientists and engineers—on a panel hosted by NPR’s Ira Flatow on "Talk of the Nation:Science Friday."

Breakthrough research that yielded the world’s first-ever ship degaussing system to use high temperature superconducting (HTS) materials garnered “Top Navy Scientist and Engineer of the Year” accolades for George Stimak, a program officer at the Office of Naval Research (ONR).

The Sea Cadets—members of a maritime-based program established by the Navy League of the United States to create a favorable image of the Navy on the part of American youth—were getting ready for a robotics competition they would hold at the next day’s Navy League STEM Expo.

Representatives from the Office of Naval Research, the Naval Research Laboratory and the Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory will talk about research efforts and ongoing projects at the Sea Air Space Exposition in National Harbor, Md.

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

Assessing surf zone conditions has never been an exact science for the Department of the Navy. That’s about to change thanks to a recent request to TechSolutions, which has resulted in new surf observation (SUROB) technology to make operational forecasts more precise. For the past six months, a team of scientists and engineers from the Naval Research Lab (NRL) and the U.S. Army’s Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC) have been developing the technological tools needed to create a more precise surf observation report. In order to gain greater insight into how the surf observation tool may improve warfighter operations, NavalX recently organized a workshop that brought together the science and engineering developers with the Sailors and Marines who would use it. TechSolutions received the request less than a year ago for a technology-driven solution for surf observation from Maj. Zachary Taylor, a technology officer with the Marines’ Warfighting Lab. Within weeks, TechSolutions began working with the development team at NRL and ERDC to come up with a prototype.
