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.

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.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) this week launched a study that could lead to breakthroughs in creating the next-generation of avatars, robots and other human surrogates for military training.

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

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.

The Office of Naval Research has developed a Common Control System for military ground, air and undersea unmanned systems that will work across the services.

The Department of the Navy’s Floating Instrument Platform (R/P FLIP) is celebrating its 50th year of service June 29. With an ability to drift over the ocean like a ship—yet transform into a vertical buoy in pursuit of scientific research—the 355-foot research vessel is able to conduct investigations in a number of fields, including acoustics, oceanography, meteorology and marine mammal observation.

The Maritime Fires program is part of the Office of Naval Research's Naval Air Warfare and Weapons Department.

The Office of Naval Research's Electric Power Components and Systems program supports the Navy’s interest in advanced naval power and energy systems research and technology.

The Office of Naval Research Active Aperture Array program seeks to develop innovative electronics technologies that will enable the revolutionary architectures and capabilities of future electronically scanned array apertures.
