ARLINGTON, Va.—To break new ground in alternative energy; increase educational opportunities for the military community; and bolster science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) outreach, the Department of the Navy and the Office of Naval Research have launched the Naval Enterprise...

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.

As the Department of the Navy continues to emphasize the need for energy security, the Office of Naval Research today announced it will increase its support for Energy Excelerator, a Hawaii-based program that funds development of new and innovative energy ideas.

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 Office of Naval Research announces the recipients of its 2008 Young Investigator Program.

The Office of Naval Research will display and demonstrate breakthrough technologies at Fleet Week New York City 2011, May 26-31.

A longstanding partnership between the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and one of the country’s foremost oceanographers will culminate on June 21 with the launch of a 24-hour “newsroom” to track scientists’ activity aboard research ships and in the field and broadcast their findings to students and teachers around the world.

More than 130 teams of elementary, middle and high school students from around the world competed at the annual International SeaPerch Challenge on June 4 at the University of Maryland in College Park, Maryland.

The Department of the Navy’s (DoN) Naval STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) program recently launched the newest version of its Naval Horizons student essay contest for high school and college students.

ONR recently sponsored a series of STEM workshops, highlighting the science behind prosthetic limbs, for students whose parents are current or former military personnel.
