Naval Reservists in Science and Technology activities are aligned to organizations, functions or liaisons.

This is the official web site for the Naval Science & Technology Future Force magazine, managed by the Office of Naval Research on behalf of the naval research community.

ONR Global serves as the conduit between the Office of Naval Research, the Naval Research Enterprise, the naval fleet/forces and the international science and technology communities.

As the lead of curriculum for the Naval Aviation Maintenance Center for Excellence Training (NAMCE-T) unit at Naval Base Ventura County (NBVC), Point Mugu, California, Master Chief Avionics Technician Andrew Karsten wanted to give his students more than just PowerPoint instruction. He wanted them to get a feel for the parts of the plane they were going to be tasked with repairing – the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye. However, obtaining parts for that hands-on experience was going to be a challenge. Karsten reached out to TechSolutions and asked, if there was a way to potentially obtain a 3D printer or connect him to somebody who could provide 3D printing services. TechSolutions is the Department of the Navy’s (DoN) rapid response program that addresses warfighter needs by quickly developing science and technology-driven solutions. Although the request was out of scope for the program, which does not facilitate getting commercially available products, TechSolutions took immediate action to help. Dr. Scott Steward, then-deputy director of TechSolutions, connected with colleagues in their network to find someone who may be able to support the warfighter’s request. Sailors and Marines interested in learning more about TechSolutions may email the team at ONR_TechSolutions@navy.mil.

Records Overview for Researchers

The Office of Naval Research provides resources for the public sector, commercial contractors, nonprofit organizations, colleges and universities to obtain research funding.

TechSolutions is an ONR Global rapid-response science and technology (S&T) program focused on producing near-term, low-cost prototype solutions to problems submitted by Sailors and Marines.

The Foreign Comparative Testing (FCT) Program, a technology transition initiative under the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (OUSD(R&E)), aims to test high Technology Readiness Level (TRL) items and technologies from our friends and allies to satisfy valid defense requirements quickly and economically.

ShipTech 2024 — a free conference sponsored by the Office of Naval Research’s (ONR’s) Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) Program — will be held on 21-22 March 2024 at the Charleston Marriott in Charleston, South Carolina. The two-day event targets the domestic shipbuilding industry, its supplier base, U.S. Navy Program Offices and Navy-sponsored shipbuilding research programs.

The Chief of Naval Research (CNR) Fellows program will bring five newly tenured academic research professors to ONR for a one-year fellowship. This initiative will provide ONR with a constant infusion of state-of-the-art knowledge while simultaneously creating a growing network of researchers who can translate the Navy and Marine Corps’ most pressing challenges into immediate S&T research.
