The power and performance of lasers are continually increasing to meet the expanding requirements of diverse future technologies.

On Thursday, Sept. 30, senior naval and congressional leaders will participate in a special Office of Naval Research-sponsored virtual event to discuss “The Future of Warfare.”

The goal of the Office of Naval Research's Electronic Warfare program is to control the electromagnetic spectrum by exploiting, deceiving, or denying enemy use of the spectrum while ensuring its use by friendly forces.

The DoD recently awarded $50 million in grants to 150 university scientists—54 of whom are sponsored by ONR—via the Defense University Research Instrumentation Program.

The Office of Naval Research earned the 2012 ASM Materials Education Foundation's 2012 Pacesetter Award.

Capt. Andy Berner reported as commanding officer, ONR Global, in July 2023.

After a six-year voyage on the high seas, research vessel (R/V) Roger Revelle is coming home to San Diego today.

Hundreds of people from six nations worked on autonomous underwater vehicles and mine countermeasures at the Office of Naval Research-sponsored Pax River technology demonstrations at Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland.

More than 225 representatives of technology-focused small businesses joined a webinar, Oct. 23, to learn the ins and outs of the contracting process for awards through the Office of Naval Research. The Office of Small Business (OSB) at ONR initiated the webinar with the help of Virginia PTAC, an APEX Accelerator program that is partially funded through the Department of Defense (DoD) and administered by George Mason University.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) sponsored a project at Virginia Tech University nearly 20 years ago that is now growing in influence across the world for measuring aerospace and aeronautical acoustics. Since noise reverberates against solid surfaces, such as the walls of a wind tunnel where acoustical testing takes place, collecting accurate sound data had been nearly impossible at the time. Researchers were also struggling to discern the sound of the wind tunnel’s air flow from the noise of the object traveling through it. After learning about some experiments on Kevlar as a wind screen, William Devenport, an engineering professor and director of Virginia Tech’s Stability Wind Tunnel, said he and a colleague wrote a proposal to then-ONR program officer Ron Joslin to try adding Kevlar to their wind tunnel walls. Devenport submitted the original grant proposal (N00014–04–1–04933) through the FY 2004 Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) for alterations to Virginia Tech’s existing Stability Wind Tunnel that would allow it to measure flow-induced noise of relevance to Navy applications.
