The Office of Naval Research has demonstrated how crowdsourcing may speed response times to critical locations, save lives, and limit damage caused by natural disaster.

New scans are providing detailed three-dimensional replicas of a whale’s hearing anatomy using a breakthrough method developed by marine biologists sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and the Chief of Naval Operations Environmental Readiness Division (N45).

Dolphins do it. Big brown bats do it. And sometime soon, the Office of Naval Research hopes its researchers will be able to do it too. Echolocation, that is, and turning the processing of such signals into a system that will enable us to mimic a flying bat's ability to detect and classify a flying...

Navy scientists lead their peers when it comes to newly patented discoveries and inventions, according to the 2010 Patent Power Scorecard published by the Institute of Electrical & Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

For excellence in research areas such as artificial intelligence and robotic and autonomous systems, the Department of the Navy (DoN) recently presented $15,000 scholarship awards to five students competing in the 2025 Regeneron International Science and Engineering Fair.

Our brains excel at all kinds of things, but when neurobiologists and psychobiologists try to reverse engineer certain brain functions in order to produce a machine or system that might mimic some of the brain's extraordinary abilities, more often than not they fail (or at least engineer something...

ONR SCOUT is an ongoing, multiagency campaign to identify new ways to bring novel capabilities to warfighter challenges, experiment with them in realistic operating conditions, and operationalize them in partnership with the fleet and force. As part of its continued evolution, SCOUT is now partnering with U.S. Pacific Fleet (PACFLT) to address problem areas identified by both warfighters and senior leadership. The SCOUT team is inviting industry partners to discuss cutting-edge concepts and solutions during an Industry Innovation Exchange on Tuesday, April 4, during the Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space Exposition, held at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

Office of Naval Research is to examine this mystery from air, land, sea, and

A U.S. Marine and Coast Guardsman each recently received a Chief of Naval Research (CNR) Award for Excellence in Intelligent Autonomous Systems from the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS).

Science advisors from the Office of Naval Research Global play a key role in today’s naval technology—connecting the warfighter to cutting-edge capabilities in the air, at sea, on land and in the information/cyber domain.
