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.

A team of researchers led by Dr. Rajesh Rao, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Washington, recently published a paper showing how robots can learn much like children—amassing data by watching adults do something, determining the goal of the action and then deciding how to perform it on their own. Rao’s work is sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR).

Last week, Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Mat Winter addressed the Sixth Symposium on the Impacts of an Ice-Diminishing Arctic on Maritime and Naval Operations.

The the Office of Naval Research’s (ONR) Expeditionary Canine Sciences program is taking a fresh look at how dogs are trained to identify different explosive devices.

ONR-sponsored researchers found a new way to precisely measure the vortices created by birds’ wings during flight, shedding greater light on how these creatures produce enough lift to fly.

The Office of Naval Research is looking at birds’ perceptual and maneuvering abilities as inspiration for small unmanned aerial vehicle autonomy, trying to understand why birds make particular flight path choices and how they can do so quickly at higher speeds than would be safe for current engineered air systems in these environments.

The Office of Naval Research led the Navy's subcomponent agencies in the 2011 Best Places to Work in the Federal Government rankings.

Recognizing the modern need for bold answers to complex naval challenges, ONR has sponsored the creation of Stanford University’s Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation (GKC)—a new academic center dedicated to helping the U.S. government re-envision its approach to national security issues.

The Office of Naval Research demonstrated two systems designed to make it easier for Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) and Fire Support Marines to train.
