The Office of Naval Research's Energetic Materials (EM) program explores materials/synthetic chemistry, advanced dynamic diagnostics and theoretical/computational/predictive approaches to provide novel energetic material concepts (explosives, propellants, reactive materials) that maximize molecular and formulation energy densities, synthesis efficiencies and predicted properties to achieve performance goals.

While some are still cleaning up from the series of hurricanes that plowed through the Caribbean and southern United States this season, scientists supported by the Office of Naval Research are busily cleaning up valuable data collected during the storms.

In the world of Information Technology (IT), integrating different software packages is notoriously tough—there are lots of unintended consequences when you try to run different applications together—and even commodity hardware like PCs can break.

The core objective of this groundbreaking effort is to exploit biology’s distinct ability to sustainably heal, replenish material and respond to constant damage while existing in harsh environments.

In a first-of-its-kind transatlantic hybrid event, the Royal Navy and U.S. Navy recently converged at His Majesty’s Naval Base (HMNB) Portsmouth and Downtown Norfolk, Virginia, to explore how cutting-edge computer vision technologies can revolutionize the maintenance and sustainment of platforms across air, land, and maritime domains, bolstering overall warfighting capabilities.

ONR is joining the Bureau of Reclamation and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to explore noise controls at the nation's hydroelectric power plants.

The Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) Program is part of the Office of Naval Research's Naval Air Warfare and Weapons Department.

Analytics, Modeling and Simulation for Local and Regional Situation Awareness supports the development of data, analytics, decision tools, and models to support combatant commands in comprehensive understanding of mission environments, together with modeling and simulation efforts to improve wargaming and exercises.

Moisture and Aerosol Gradients / Physics of Inversion Evolution (MAGPIE) DRI

The Office of Naval Research's Ocean Acoustics program supports basic research that addresses fundamental understandings of the physics relating to underwater sound.
