Cruise missiles have proven themselves in combat many times since the Gulf War, but the Navy would like to drive their cost down—the ones currently in service cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Office of Naval Research (ONR) has a program to use commercially-based equipment to build a...

ONR today launched a collaborative initiative with university researchers focused on synthetic, or engineered, cells—part of a larger effort to use the smallest units of life to help Sailors and Marines execute their missions.

As the Navy prepares to deploy its first laser weapon on a ship later this summer, Office of Naval Research (ONR) officials announced June 11 that they have finished awarding contracts to develop a similar weapon to be used on ground vehicles.

The power and performance of lasers are continually increasing to meet the expanding requirements of diverse future technologies.

To better predict tropical cyclone intensity, scientists sponsored by ONR worked with NOAA and NASA to to gather atmospheric data from storms that formed in the Atlantic Ocean in 2016.
