Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Adm. John Richardson gave remarks at the Naval Future Force Science and Technology Expo, held Jul. 20-21 in Washington, D.C.

Assessing surf zone conditions has never been an exact science for the Department of the Navy. That’s about to change thanks to a recent request to TechSolutions, which has resulted in new surf observation (SUROB) technology to make operational forecasts more precise. For the past six months, a team of scientists and engineers from the Naval Research Lab (NRL) and the U.S. Army’s Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC) have been developing the technological tools needed to create a more precise surf observation report. In order to gain greater insight into how the surf observation tool may improve warfighter operations, NavalX recently organized a workshop that brought together the science and engineering developers with the Sailors and Marines who would use it. TechSolutions received the request less than a year ago for a technology-driven solution for surf observation from Maj. Zachary Taylor, a technology officer with the Marines’ Warfighting Lab. Within weeks, TechSolutions began working with the development team at NRL and ERDC to come up with a prototype.

Structured to pique students´ career interests in science, engineering, technology, and mathematics, the 47th Three Rivers Science and Engineering Fair was hosted, Feb. 19, at the Naval Support Activity Panama City (NSA PC).

The U.S. Navy recently celebrated the 60th anniversary of the ONR-sponsored Trieste dive to the Challenger Deep, the deepest part of the ocean.

On Sept. 29, Dr. Michael Traweek answered questions about flow noise on Facebook and Twitter. See a transcript.

No question about it… spiny lobsters aren't pretty. Keith Ward, chair of ONR's Biomolecular and Biosystems Science and Technology Group, doesn't particularly like their looks either, but he knows their sense of smell is astounding. Researchers funded by Ward figure that a lobster's extraordinary...

Autonomy and the future force were in the spotlight, as nine student-led teams tested their maritime engineering skills during the 10th annual International RoboBoat Competition in Daytona Beach, Florida.
