The Office of Naval Research's Materials for New Sensor Modalities program is interested in basic research aimed at drastic or fundamental alterations of a material’s response to stimuli.

The Navy faces the complex task of efficiently managing diverse material streams, either generated as operational byproducts or at the end of their service life. The Office of Naval Research's Materials Treatment and Recovery program ensures their appropriate treatment and, where economically feasible, resource recovery.

Naval assets, large and small, spend months to years at sea exposed to considerable biofouling pressures. The Office of Naval Research's Biofouling Control and Coatings Program sponsors research to develop antifouling/fouling release coatings and the mechanics underlying such materials.

The Office of Naval Research's Advanced Ground and Amphibious Platforms program researches, develops and exploits science and technologies at the intersection of the mechanical, control and electronic system domains to enhance the maneuverability and mobility of ground and amphibious manned and unmanned platforms.

The Office of Naval Research's Hydrodynamics Related to Subsurface Vehicles (SSV) program supports the Navy’s interest in advanced sea platform performance science and technology, submarine science and technology, and naval engineering.

The Office of Naval Research's Ship Signatures program supports the Navy’s interest in advanced sea platform survivability science and technology, and submarine science and technology.

The Office of Naval Research's Thermal Science and Engineering program advances thermal science through fundamental studies of multi-phase heat transfer, fluid dynamics and nanostructured materials.

The Office of Naval Research's Unmanned Surface Vehicle and Small Combatant Craft program supports the Navy’s interest in advanced sea platform performance, advanced sea platform and autonomy technologies.

Non-Destructive Evaluation and Prognostics is a two-tiered research area within the Office of Naval Research's Sea Warfare and Weapons Department.

The Office of Naval Research's multi-scale mechanics research area endeavors to develop multiscale and multiphysics mechanics theories that bridge the nano scale to the continuum scale to predict material and structural strength.
