The Office of Naval Research (ONR) has ended fiscal year 2023 with the highest rating from the Professional Services Council (PSC) for its outreach, transparency and thoroughness in acquisition forecasts. The Department of the Navy’s ranking on the PSC scorecard is a big change from previous years according to Ellen Simonoff, director, Office of Small Business Programs. She said last year the DoN pushed an initiative to get a higher ranking and succeeded, in part, by getting all of the Navy commands to have their long-range acquisition estimates correspond to each other in terms of how and what information was published.

ONR will engage with students, families and teachers at the USA Science & Engineering Festival in Washington, D.C.

To refine new technologies that will strengthen naval sustainment and expeditionary logistics, the Experimentation and Analysis (E&A) office at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global recently sponsored the two-week Technology Operational Experimentation Exercise (TOEE) 2022 at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

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).

The Office of Naval Research and the American Society of Naval Engineers recently held the 2024 Naval Science and Technology (S&T)/Combat Systems/Technology, Systems and Ships Symposium in Arlington, Virginia.

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.

See how the the Office of Naval Research and elements within the Marine Corps have successfully demonstrated their goal to reduce petroleum and energy usage in remote locations in Afghanistan.

The Naval Horizons student essay contest—an educational video series from the Department of the Navy's Naval STEM education and outreach program—aims to inspire high school students by raising their awareness of the real-world science and technology challenges facing the Navy and Marine Corps today. The high school contest expands on the Naval Horizons contest launched last year, which focused on college students.
