The Hypersonic Aerothermodynamics, High-Speed Propulsion and Materials program is part of the Office of Naval Research's Naval Air Warfare and Weapons Department.

Researchers from the University of New South Wales in Sydney are finding ways to increase the capability of human‐machine cooperation, by exploring a novel line of research based in future intent prediction.

Identify an issue and work to resolve it. That kind of work ethic exemplifies one of the most recent Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal winners, Lt. Cmdr. Sam Hughes, who worked with TechSolutions, at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global, to create a new, more efficient way to train radar operators. Hughes came up with the idea to use a simulation program for training radar operators while working as the Air Traffic Control (ATC) Integrated Product Team (IPT) lead at the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division (NAWC TSD). The new radar simulator trains up to 14 people at one time with a standardized training method. While Hughes’ name is written on the certificate from the DoN, he stressed it was a team effort that helped push the new radar operations training forward. “This is 100% not me. It was a team effort and as soon as we get it out to the fleet and it works, that'll be the greatest award I could receive.”

GlobalX is a nine-month international science challenge that seeks revolutionary research through active worldwide cooperation.

Dr. Vikram Deshpande, an engineering professor at the University of Cambridge, United Kingdom—whose research has been supported by both the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and its international arm, ONR Global—recently received the 2020 Rodney Hill Prize in Solid Mechanics.

Quantum computers may be able to help create new pharmaceuticals, understand chemical reactions, solve certain problems that are otherwise intractable, create new materials and allow for highly disruptive applications in numerous sectors.

The Office of Naval Research announced its 2011 Young Investigator Program.
