The Office of Naval Research's Advanced Power and Energy for Undersea Applications program aims to develop component, subsystem and system technologies for advanced high-energy density and power density propulsion systems, and to enable increased endurance and reliability in an air-independent environment.

The Human Interaction with Autonomous Systems program aims to create cognitively-compatible intelligent autonomous systems and robots that could serve as teammates with humans, enabling peer-to-peer collaboration among humans, robots, intelligent agents and autonomous systems.

The Office of Naval Research's Fuel Flexibility for Contingency Operations program comprises basic and applied research to support naval needs for operational energy resilience and sustained operations when conventional fuels are not abundantly available. This program seeks technological breakthroughs to enable the generation of synthetic fuels from abundant and logistically compatible resources.

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.

The Department of the Navy’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Minority Institutions program recently held its first outreach event at a Native American university or college—Navajo Technical University in Crownpoint, New Mexico.

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.

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.

Technology to impact future amphibious naval operations was in the spotlight, as senior leaders from the Navy and Marine Corps spoke to a packed house at the Office of Naval Research.

As sea ice continues to recede at a record pace in the Arctic, officials at the Office of Naval Research (ONR) today announced new efforts to determine the pace of change in what some are calling Earth’s final frontier.

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.
