At the recent year-end Defense Manufacturing Conference, a Navy National Shipbuilding Research Program project titled: Naval Submarine & Carrier Propulsion Shipbuilding Research Program project titled: Naval Submarine & Carrier Propulsion Manufacturing Technology Achievement Award.

A state-of-the-art welding process refined for use in naval shipbuilding by the Office of Naval Research has crossed over to the world of computing.

The objective of this Navy Metalworking Center (NMC) project was to use advanced metalworking technologies to reduce the weight and cost of airframe components on the Navy-Unmanned Combat Air System (N-UCAS).

The process of locating and installing attachments and structural penetrations is very time intensive and has a substantial impact on the cost and schedule of the outfitting of Navy warships, particularly in submarines.

The Navy is seeking solutions to reduce weight and lower the center of gravity for surface ships to improve their performance at a reasonable cost. LASer-welded corrugated-CORe (LASCOR) metallic sandwich panels are stiff, lightweight steel structures that offer the Navy corrosion resistance, reduced weight and less distortion.

Work done on a Navy Metalworking Center (NMC) project was recognized with a 2008 Defense Manufacturing Technology Achievement Award, which is given by the Department of Defense Joint Defense Manufacturing Technology Panel (JDMTP).

A new mobile app from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) is just a download away – expanding ONR’s reach to a wider and more diverse audience, and increasing awareness of its role within the Department of the Navy (DoN). The user-friendly “ONR” mobile app has been approved for downloads on DoN work phones, as well as the general public, giving access to ONR information to anyone who wants to learn more about naval science and technology. The “ONR” app is based on a similar mobile platform used for several years by the Department of the Air Force. It is free to anyone through Apple’s App Store and Google Play. Simply search for “Office of Naval Research” on your preferred platform. If downloading to a DoN work phone, tap the Flank Speed Comp Portal app on your GFE mobile device. Tap the Apps Menu, then scroll to categories. The “ONR” app is located in the reference category.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) will manage a new institute to spur innovation, manufacturing and implementation of lightweight and modern metals—part of a White House initiative announced Feb. 25 that aims to strengthen national defense and U.S. manufacturing through public and private partnerships.

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 and the American Society of Naval Engineers recently held the 2024 Naval Science and Technology (S&T)/Combat Systems/Technology, Systems and Ships Symposium in Arlington, Virginia.
