As the use of improvised explosive devices (IED) continues to grow globally, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) is exploring physical and social sciences to counter the threat.

A collaborative effort between the Office of Naval Research Global TechSolutions program and the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division has resulted in a new technology called Flight Deck Crew Refresher Training Expansion Packs (TEPs) that will deliver cutting-edge training to Sailors and Marines.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR), in conjunction with its international component ONR Global, sponsored a workshop May 17-19, 2004 at University College London (UCL), to discuss initiatives to address the serious worldwide shortage of well-trained naval engineers.

ONR Global TechSolutions demonstrated Topside Drone, which can be used to inspect and detect material defects, corrosion, warping and other conditions on naval vessels.

Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. David J. Hahn, and leadership from the Naval Research Enterprise (NRE), will discuss autonomy, acceleration and acquisition at the Navy League’s Global Maritime Exposition Sea-Air-Space, April 9-11, at the Gaylord Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global is on a mission to strengthen U.S. naval capabilities by bridging the gap between scientists and warfighters who serve at sea. One of the ways the command does so is through the Scientist-to-Sea (S2S) program, which invites U.S. government and industry-partner scientists and engineers to experience Navy installations and ships in-person whenever possible.

The Office of Naval Research's Structural Metals program emphasizes developing the fundamental understanding needed to discover, design, and produce high-performance structural metals.

When in Rome, as the saying goes, do as the Romans do. So, when in Britain, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global does what the British do – take tea at least once a month with potential industry partners. Jeffrey Brewer, co-director, ONR Global London Tech Bridge (LTB), said the Tea and Tech engagement is more than just a fun event. Its aim is to find solutions to problems that have been identified by U.S. Navy and Marine personnel or by the Royal Navy. Most of the companies that are invited are based in the U.K., although other European-based companies as well as U.S. companies may be approached. “We meet with several innovative companies in a rapid-fire format,” said Brewer. “Companies have a limited time to make their pitches, and we have subject matter experts from both navies on hand to ask questions and provide feedback. It’s almost a “Shark Tank” format.”

The Office of Naval Research's Marine Meteorology and Space program sponsors innovative basic and applied research in the broad thrust areas of atmospheric prediction and processes, atmospheric effects, air-sea interaction, atmospheric boundary layer processes, satellite remote sensing, and ionospheric analysis and prediction.
