The Office of Naval Research's Propulsion Materials program involves, in part, the kinetics and thermodynamics of materials interactions and materials stability under marine operating environments and temperatures.

On Oct. 15, Marines participated in the fifth and final demonstration of the Office of Naval Research (ONR)-developed Augmented Immersive Team Trainer (AITT) system, an augmented reality technology that represents a major breakthrough in Marine Corps combat training.

The Jet Noise Reduction program is part of the Office of Naval Research’s Noise-Induced Hearing Loss program and is a result of the health and environmental impacts of aircraft noise.

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).

ONR Global serves as the conduit between the Office of Naval Research, the Naval Research Enterprise, the naval fleet/forces and the international science and technology communities.

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.

A research project from the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global is providing valuable information about the effects of melting glaciers in Patagonia that feed into coastal fjords, transporting sediments, freshwater and nutrients. Dr. Chris Konek, science director at ONR Global in Chile, said the research will help the Department of the Navy (DoN) understand the effects of a changing climate on the coastal environment. “That’s the kind of the thing the Marines need to be able to handle,” he said. “It’s basic research and so it will help provide a fundamental understanding of this aspect of coastal systems where you can expect more things like this to happen in the future – more glacial melting as opposed to less.” Cristian Escauriaza, professor, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, is the principal investigator along with his university colleague, Megan Williams. They are working with the Filantropía Cortés-Solari, a conservation organization that owns and manages the Melimoyu Elemental Reserve in northern Patagonia. Patagonia is largely remote with a diverse ecosystem and a rich array of wildlife, including penguins and blue whales. Konek said ONR Global is interested in Escauriaza’s project for its potential to inform what’s happening to that ecosystem, which can also help inform what’s happening to other coastal regions experiencing the same challenges.

An innovative Office of Naval Research (ONR) program is looking to Navy, Marine Corps and Coast Guard veterans for the cutting edge in alternative energy—and is highlighted this week in a new video released during the Navy’s Warrior Care Month.

Things are crackling on the giant Jovian moon, Europa, and a group of earth-bound ocean scientists funded by the Office of Naval Research are intrigued… could Jupiter's Europa be hiding an ocean of water under that icy surface? A salty ocean… larger than all the oceans of the earth combined? The...

New scans are providing detailed three-dimensional replicas of a whale’s hearing anatomy using a breakthrough method developed by marine biologists sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and the Chief of Naval Operations Environmental Readiness Division (N45).
