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 Office of Naval Research's Chemical Physics program seeks to deepen the understanding of the interactions between Naval systems and the chemicals that surround them.

The Office of Naval Research's RF Surveillance program focuses on radio frequency (RF) sensors for naval surveillance applications, including surface, shipboard and air. Interest spans the electromagnetic spectrum from HF through mmW, including active and passive, organic as well as distributed RF sensing approaches, including an emphasis on RADAR.

The Office of Naval Research's Advanced Ground and Amphibious Platforms program researches, develops and exploits science and technologies at the intersection of the mechanical, control and electronic system domains to enhance the maneuverability and mobility of ground and amphibious manned and unmanned platforms.

The Office of Naval Research's Atomic, Molecular and Quantum Physics program supports basic atomic, molecular and quantum (AMQ) physics research to advance navigation, timekeeping, and sensing technology, particularly in the maritime environment.

The objective of the Office of Naval Research's RF Semiconductor Devices, RF Solid State Amplifiers and Wide Bandgap Materials program is to develop solid state (e.g., wide bandgap semiconductor), low noise, high speed electronic devices and circuits for use in surveillance, electronic warfare, multifunctional RF systems and communications.
