Please join the Office of Naval Research on board the USS Kearsarge (LHD 3) and at our display at the pier at Staten Island to learn about some of the exciting technologies being developed for today’s Navy and Marine Corps

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 2022 Department of Defense (DoD) National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellows Conference — hosted in Boston, Massachusetts, July 24-28 — proved the U.S. Department of Defense is on the right course for developing its next generation of scientific researchers.

ONR recently tested the new Mine Warfare Rapid Assessment Capability (MIW RAC), an unmanned aerial drone that detects mines and provides real-time search data to a handheld device.

As President Barack Obama begins a trip to Asia to coordinate with allies and reconfirm America’s strategic pivot to the Pacific, officials at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) emphasized today the Asia-Pacific Technology and Education Partnership (APTEP) as an example of strong and growing ties between the United States and its allies in the region.

In this transcript from the Office of Naval Research's online series, Tech Talk, deputy manager Keith Hammack answers questions about ONR's autonomous ground vehicles.

The core objective of this groundbreaking effort is to exploit biology’s distinct ability to sustainably heal, replenish material and respond to constant damage while existing in harsh environments.
