Naval assets, large and small, spend months to years at sea exposed to considerable biofouling pressures. The Office of Naval Research's Biofouling Control program sponsors research to develop antifouling/fouling release coatings and the mechanics underlying such materials.

The Office of Naval Research's Computer-Aided Materials Design (CAMD) program funds research projects in materials design.

The Navy faces the complex task of efficiently managing diverse material streams, either generated as operational byproducts or at the end of their service life. The Office of Naval Research's Materials Treatment and Recovery program ensures their appropriate treatment and recovery.

The Office of Naval Research's Advanced Power and Energy for Undersea Applications program aims to develop component, subsystem and system technologies for advanced high-energy density and power density propulsion systems, and to enable increased endurance and reliability in an air-independent environment.

The Human Interaction with Autonomous Systems program aims to create cognitively-compatible intelligent autonomous systems and robots that could serve as teammates with humans, enabling peer-to-peer collaboration among humans, robots, intelligent agents and autonomous systems.

The Office of Naval Research's Fuel Flexibility for Contingency Operations program comprises basic and applied research to support naval needs for operational energy resilience and sustained operations when conventional fuels are not abundantly available. This program seeks technological breakthroughs to enable the generation of synthetic fuels from abundant and logistically compatible resources.

The Office of Naval Research's Chemical Physics program seeks to deepen the understanding of the interactions between Naval systems and the chemicals that surround them.

The Office of Naval Research's Precision, Navigation and Timekeeping program seeks new and innovative navigation technologies that will provide accurate, reliable, maintainable and affordable systems for Naval surface, subsurface, air and ground platforms and forces.

The Office of Naval Research's RF Surveillance program focuses on radio frequency (RF) sensors for naval surveillance applications, including surface, shipboard and air. Interest spans the electromagnetic spectrum from HF through mmW, including active and passive, organic as well as distributed RF sensing approaches, including an emphasis on RADAR.
