ONR Global TechSolutions: Send Us Your Great Ideas

TechSolutions, part of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global, takes a problem identified by a Sailor or Marine and tries to come up with solutions through a rapid-response technology development program. Jason Payne, director of TechSolutions, said his office is eager to hear about anything needed that may be solved through technology. A good idea does not necessarily need to come from an engineer or scientist. Sailors and Marines who wish to make a submission may register for an account with their CAC-enabled computer at the link provided on the TechSolutions webpage: https://www.onr.navy.mil/techsolutions/. Accounts are validated within a few minutes and ready for input.
