The Office of Naval Research's Extraordinary Materials for Extreme Conditions program aims to support basic and applied research efforts to design, discover and develop novel materials/structures with unique properties (Physical, Mechanical and Chemical etc.) for extreme operating conditions through employing traditional as well as novel - synthesis routes, processing, characterization techniques and modeling/simulation tools.

The ONR 33 NEPTUNE Program is a two-year pilot program providing funding to five universities, the U.S. Naval Academy and the Naval Postgraduate School. Its goals are to help the Navy and Marine Corps discover ways to improve energy conservation, generate renewable energy and implement energy-efficient technologies—while giving active-duty military, military students and veterans the chance to immerse themselves in university-level research.

The Office of Naval Research Computational Methods for Decision Making Applied Research Program is composed of three thrusts—Large-scale Distributed Decision-making, Automated Image Understanding and Resource Optimization.

The Office of Naval Research's Mathematical and Resource Optimization program supports basic research in optimization — focusing on the development of theory and algorithms for large-scale optimization problems.

To better protect Sailors from steam leaks on nuclear-powered submarines, ONR recently delivered new steam suits to crews of the USS Vermont and USS Indiana at Naval Submarine Base New London, Connecticut.

ONR Global TechSolutions recently demonstrated the Anthropometric Measurement Device, which is designed to help select the right aircraft for differently sized aviators.

In the wake of the recent announcement that laser weapons will be put on U.S. Navy ships, the need for reliable, high-voltage shipboard power has become a matter of national security, officials said at this week’s Electric Ship Technologies Symposium outside Washington, D.C.

ONR-sponsored researchers at the University of California Los Angeles have designed the first detailed computer simulation model of an injured human leg, complete with spurting blood.

The Office of Naval Research supports development of technologies that give our Sailors and Marines increased battlespace awareness and tactical advantage, keep them out of harms way, and improve their performance and quality of life.
