Nexi, the humanoid robot, is the result of the cutting edge technology funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) being developed at MIT’s Media Lab

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) today announced that more than 1,300 science and technology (S&T) industry professionals from Department of Defense, private industry, small business, and academia gathered to engage with ONR´s principal S&T decision makers at the 2008 ONR Naval S&T Partnership Conference.

Dr. Joseph Lyding, a principal investigator for the Office of Naval Research, received the 2014 Feynman Prize for nanotechnology.

ONR is looking to the sun for energy in an effort to help Marines do away with diesel-guzzling generators now used in combat outposts.

Two decades ago, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) helped Dr. W.E. Moerner in his quest to find “a molecule in a haystack,” work that is transforming the field of medicine and has earned the Stanford University professor the 2014 Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

TechSolutions has just celebrated its 1000th request for a technology-driven solution identified by the men and women who need it most – Sailors and Marines on the frontlines of the mission. “Necessity is the mother of invention, which is why it’s so important to deliver what our warfighters need when they need it – not five to ten years later, but as soon as possible,” said Capt. Andy Berner, commanding officer of the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global, which oversees TechSolutions. “When a viable request comes in, TechSolutions works to put that technology into the hands of our Sailors and Marines within months while other procurement requests are still working their way through red tape.” TechSolutions received its 1000th request on Jan. 19. Jason Payne, director of TechSolutions, said they are looking forward to celebrating the next milestone, number 1500, which he hopes comes in sooner than the first 500 requests since warfighters can now contact TechSolutions directly by phone, email, Teams, or through the ONR mobile app.

Safe removal of roadside bombs and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) is critical in hostile environments. Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) crews often rely on remotely operated robots to disarm explosives – and the Office of Naval Research has just made their job a little easier.

The Office of Naval Research tapped Rick ONeil, recently elevated to the Senior Executive Service, to manage its Acquisition Department and the thousands of grants, contracts and other transactions ONR has with research institutions and industry around the world in the constant pursuit of innovation.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) displayed a technology that allows helicopter aircraft commanders to “take the fight away from the boat

The Office of Naval Research will host a series of open, interactive question-and-answer sessions on Facebook beginning Wednesday, Sept. 15. These online 'Tech Talk' events will highlight research areas being funded as part of the 2010 Chief of Naval Research Challenge this fall.
