Navy engineers are making final adjustments to a laser weapon prototype that will be the first of its kind to deploy aboard a ship late this summer.

As sea ice continues to recede at a record pace in the Arctic, officials at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) today announced new efforts to determine the pace of change in what some are calling Earth’s final frontier.

A new report issued by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) puts a spotlight on the Office of Naval Research (ONR) for effective ways to get new technologies out of the lab and into the hands of the warfighter.

The Office of Naval Research, in conjunction with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, is sponsoring development of the Stress Resilience Training System (SRTS), an iPad app training program that teaches Sailors and Marines to understand their stress responses and manage them by learning biofeedback techniques that work for their individual needs. The affordable, hi-tech, solution could help prevent post-traumatic stress disorder, helping warfighters and potentially saving billions of dollars in associated medical costs.

Science advisors from the Office of Naval Research Global play a key role in today’s naval technology—connecting the warfighter to cutting-edge capabilities in the air, at sea, on land and in the information/cyber domain.

With support from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Dr. Binoy Ravindran, an engineering professor at Virginia Tech, has designed a system that could revolutionize how military and commercial computing systems perform.

In a study that could improve how people learn and retain information, ONR Global-sponsored researchers in Rome significantly boosted the memory and mental performance of laboratory mice through electrical stimulation.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) recently welcomed the U.S. Navy’s newest research vessel—R/V Sally Ride—for oceanographic research.
