ONR recently held a roundtable hosted by current Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Lorin C. Selby and featuring eight former CNRs.

As the U.S. Navy minimizes its dependence on foreign oil, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) is a front runner in supporting and bringing forth innovative solutions to fuel consumption challenges

The United States Navy and Marine Corps are an expeditionary team. Thus they operate in the littorals-in the sea and on the land along the coastline. Expeditionary work takes a very different set of operational capabilities from those needed in blue-water fleet operations. The Navy must bring in the...

The University of Manchester researchers are using synthetic biology to explore a more efficient and reliable pathway towards the production of jet fuels.

At the Technical Concept Experiment 23.2, held at Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, ONR showcased multiple systems designed to enhance the Marine Corps’ capability in carrying out amphibious operations — including explosive hazard defeat/mine countermeasures as well as intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance.

Since its creation in 1946, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has supported the early-career research of more than 60 Nobel laureates. ONR is proud to add two new names to that prestigious list — Dr. David Baker of the University of Washington (UW) and Dr. John Hopfield of Princeton University, who received the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry and physics, respectively.

Develop technologies for Naval Strike Group Training and Assessment.

The goal of the Office of Naval Research's Anti-Submarine Warfare program is to develop system components, integrated systems, companion tactical decision aids, and associated training capabilities to improve the Navy’s ability to conduct anti-submarine warfare.

The Littoral Geosciences and Optics program (ONR 322LO) supports basic and applied research for expeditionary warfare, naval special warfare, mine warfare and antisubmarine warfare in shelf, near-shore, estuarine, riverine and riparian environments, with a particular emphasis on robust 4D prediction of environmental characteristics in denied, distant or remote environments.

The goal of the Office of Naval Research's Undersea Signal Processing program is to develop signal processing algorithms that improve the Navy's ability to detect, identify and locate submarines in shallow and deep ocean environments.
