The Office of Naval Research's Polymer Matrix Composites (PMC) program has invested significantly in developing new structural fibers with better thermo-oxidative resistance, new non-toxic resins systems and sandwich cores with enhanced resistance to fire and its propagation, new additives to improve PMC inter-laminar properties, and new resin infusion models and processing tools for improving product quality and lowering manufacturing costs.

The Office of Naval Research's Structural Metals program emphasizes developing the fundamental understanding needed to discover, design, and produce high-performance structural metals.

The aim of Undersea Medicine & Performance is to develop improved methods, models, treatments and devices for understanding, preventing or mitigating factors that negatively impact divers and submariners.

The Office of Naval Research's Command and Control program focuses on developing new approaches to support tactical decision makers and information superiority.

The Command Decision Making program is advancing cognitive theory and computational modeling to create decision support tools for warfighters that are mission and task sensitive, and therefore proactive in providing relevant information at appropriate times.

The Office of Naval Research's Marine Meteorology and Space program sponsors innovative basic and applied research in the broad thrust areas of atmospheric prediction, atmospheric effects, air-sea interaction and marine boundary layer processes and space environment.

The Marine Mammal Health program aims to improve the detection, treatment and prevention of diseases in U.S. Navy marine mammals to ensure the ongoing health and overall longevity of the animals.

Student engineering teams from Princeton, Washington College and the University of Alabama have won first place in their respective events at the “Promoting Electric Propulsion” (PEP) boat races, sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE). In just six years, this electric boat-building competition has grown from a single university to 34, with more than 200 students who took part in the five-mile races on Broad Bay in Virginia Beach. Dr. Steve Russell, program officer, Sea Warfare and Weapons department, said he launched the PEP competition with a colleague from ASNE, Dr. Leigh McCue, and Tim Cullis, Naval Sea Warfare Center Carderock, after seeing a public race by local hobbyists in the Chesapeake Bay.

The Power, Propulsion and Thermal Management program is part of the Office of Naval Research's Naval Air Warfare and Weapons Department.

We are pleased to partner with the American Society of Naval Engineers (ASNE) to bring you the Naval Science and Technology/Combat Systems/Technology Systems and Ships Symposium 2024. This is an exciting opportunity for partners across the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps, industry and academia, to meet, discuss and learn about Employing and Sustaining Naval Combat Systems to Fight & Win.
