The Chairman to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Adm. Mike Mullen, witnessed Marines in action Tuesday as they confronted loud explosions and thick smoke in the Infantry Immersion Trainer´s virtual Iraqi village.

The Office of Naval Research is sponsoring research to develop the next-generation Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle, in preparation to replace the Marine Corps’ current Light Armored Vehicle.

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 aim of the Office of Naval Research's Naval Force Health Protection program is to research and develop innovative capabilities to protect the warfighter, reduce injury risk and improve combat casualty care while also optimizing performance.

On April 5, 2010, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) named 17 recipients as winners of its 2010 Young Investigator Program, which invests in academic scientists and engineers who show exceptional promise for creative study.

Scientists at Los Alamos National Lab, N.M., have achieved a remarkable breakthrough with the Office of Naval Research's Free Electron Laser (FEL) program, demonstrating an injector capable of producing the electrons needed to generate megawatt-class laser beams for the Navy's next-generation weapon system.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) will host a lecture series featuring Navy researchers and scientists who hold scientific or professional positions.

Extraordinarily rugged with a melting temperature of several thousand degrees Fahrenheit. That describes the results of research into new ceramic materials sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and recently published in the Journal Nature. A research team, led by ONR’s Principal Investigator, Dr. Stefano Curtarolo, Duke University, developed a computational method for creating new types of ceramics using transition metals – carbonitrides or borides – through a process called Disordered Enthalpy-Entropy Descriptor (DEED). The applications are endless, said Dr. Eric Wuchina, a research materials engineer who was the program officer with ONR’s Sea Warfare and Weapons department when Curtarolo’s research team was awarded the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI). According to Wuchina, the variety of new compositions could create potentially millions of new materials.
