The stuff of Army and Marine Corps boot camp is legendary - mud, grueling marches, hours of, climbing and crawling with the requisite 100-lb pack, through smoke, barbed wire, gun and missile fire, with sweat, little sleep, scanty rations, and punishing, in-your-face "trainers." The culminating final...

Advanced software that can transform existing medium-sized vessels into unmanned ships able to autonomously complete naval missions. A four-legged, bio-inspired robot that can perform reconnaissance or dispose of explosives safely. A drone that merges the flying capabilities of a helicopter and airplane. All will be showcased to the public during the 2017 Sea-Air-Space Exposition.

ONR recently sponsored a series of STEM workshops, highlighting the science behind prosthetic limbs, for students whose parents are current or former military personnel.

Science advisors from the Office of Naval Research Global play a key role in today’s naval technology—connecting the warfighter to cutting-edge capabilities in the air, at sea, on land and in the information/cyber domain.

With support from the Office of Naval Research (ONR), Dr. Binoy Ravindran, an engineering professor at Virginia Tech, has designed a system that could revolutionize how military and commercial computing systems perform.

In a study that could improve how people learn and retain information, ONR Global-sponsored researchers in Rome significantly boosted the memory and mental performance of laboratory mice through electrical stimulation.

With ONR support, engineers at MIT have designed a portable measurement system to precisely monitor the amount of electricity used by household appliances, lighting fixtures and electronic devices.

Science and technology enthusiasts were treated to a day of educational fun at the Navy League STEM Expo at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

NEPTUNE 2.0 will launch in early 2020—providing new research grants to universities to align naval and national defense strategy requirements with campus laboratory capabilities. NEPTUNE sponsors university research, which enables military students (veterans and active duty) to connect education with entrepreneurial practice—developing technology for defense and commercial applications.
