A distinguished panel of experts hosted by the Office of Naval Research shared their perspectives Friday on the cultural and political factors influencing technological innovations in China.

The nation’s 10th and final Nimitz-class aircraft carrier, the USS George H. W. Bush (CVN-77), was commissioned on 10 January with a host of new technologies developed by the Office of Naval Research (ONR

The Navy´s newest flight deck cleaning technology cuts grime with the power of a Zamboni and the environmental safety of clean running water.

The Ground Renewable Expeditionary ENergy System (GREENS) is a 300-watt, photovoltaic/battery system -- powered by the sun -- that provides continuous power to Marines in the field.

Breakthrough research that yielded the world’s first-ever ship degaussing system to use high temperature superconducting (HTS) materials garnered “Top Navy Scientist and Engineer of the Year” accolades for George Stimak, a program officer at the Office of Naval Research (ONR).

T-beam stiffeners are used extensively in ship construction for decks, bulkheads, shells and other structural applications. As the need for weight and cost reduction grows, T-beams are being manufactured of stronger materials with smaller cross-sections.

This Navy Metalworking Center (NMC) project assessed the effects of forming temperature and plate thickness on the forming characteristics of HSLA-65 and DH-36 used in hull applications for CVN 21 and other ship classes.

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.

New hull coatings being developed by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) are showing promise in reducing the build-up of marine crustaceans – namely barnacles – on ships´ hulls, optimizing vessel performance and dramatically reducing fuel costs.

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.
