In July 2023, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) partnered with the 144th Airlift Squadron of the Alaska Air National Guard to deploy five different types of weather buoys across more than 1,000 nautical miles of the Arctic Ocean. Such deployments are critical for maintaining the Arctic Observing Network (AON), which provides observations for weather and ice forecasting and related research. “Understanding ocean and weather conditions in the Arctic region is crucial to ensuring safe, effective naval operations in this challenging part of the world,” said Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Kurt Rothenhaus. “Exercises like this buoy drop are a testament to the value of strong international scientific partnerships and collaboration, in order to share knowledge, resources and insights.” The buoy air deployment supported the International Arctic Buoy Programme (IABP), a collaborative program comprising more than 32 different research and operational institutions from 10 different countries and four international agencies — including the International Cooperative Engagement Program for Polar Research (ICE-PPR), European Meteorological Network, World Climate Research Programme and World Meteorological Organization.

On Sept. 23, the Office of Naval Research turned over R/V Neil Armstrong to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.

ONR officials announced successful testing of the Low-Cost UAV Swarming Technology, or LOCUST, program.

As the global automobile industry considers alternative energy sources to replace the traditional internal combustion engine, Jessie Pacheco, a mail clerk at Camp Pendleton, has been making his rounds to Marines in General Motors (GM) Chevrolet Equinox fuel cell vehicles (FCVs).

The Strategic Competition Program invests in basic and applied research to further our understanding of strategic competition, develop capabilities to counter grey zone actions, and identify opportunities to enhance cooperation with allies and partners, particularly in terms of access, basing, and overflight.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) will host a lecture series featuring Navy researchers and scientists who hold scientific or professional positions.

For the first time ever, ONR will unveil the Large Displacement UUV and Low-Cost UAV Swarming Technology at the Sea-Air-Space Expo.

Researchers deployed the system, called “Rough Rhino,” aboard U.S. aircraft, ships and partner nation ships operating in waters off the coast of Senegal and Cape Verde. Sailors and Coast Guardsmen could access and control the sensors both afloat and ashore, as well as share information in a real-time common operating picture.
