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.

A U.S. Marine and Coast Guardsman each recently received a Chief of Naval Research (CNR) Award for Excellence in Intelligent Autonomous Systems from the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS).

Recent U.S. Naval Academy graduates engaged in a week-long "design thinking" event aimed at addressing a major challenge facing the Joint Interagency Task Force-South (JIATF-S) — limited resources to cover a huge area of operations to counter narcotics smuggling into the U.S. The Academy event — which lasted from Aug. 2-5 and culminated in presentations to Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Lorin Selby and other stakeholders — was a partnership between the Office of Naval Research (ONR)-sponsored SCOUT initiative, JIATF-S and multiple warfare centers.

A new innovation in aviation training, featuring a simulator sponsored by the Office of Naval Research TechSolutions program, delivers a better way to prepare future Navy pilots.

The Office of Naval Research's Ship Signatures program supports the Navy’s interest in advanced sea platform survivability science and technology, and submarine science and technology.

The Office of Naval Research's Ship Structural Reliability program is focused on the development of reliability-based knowledge and tools to improve performance and affordability of naval ship hull structures from cradle to grave.

The Office of Naval Research's Thermal Science and Engineering program advances thermal science through fundamental studies of multi-phase heat transfer, fluid dynamics and nanostructured materials.

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.

Naval assets, large and small, spend months to years at sea exposed to considerable biofouling pressures. The Office of Naval Research's Biofouling Control and Coatings Program sponsors research to develop antifouling/fouling release coatings and the mechanics underlying such materials.
