The NavalX Agility Cell, or NavalX, will hold its Agility Summit on Sept. 21-25 in Alexandria, Virginia. The event—hosted by NavalX and supported by multiple partners, including the Office of Naval Research—is designed to build partnerships in the Department of the Navy on matters of innovation, acquisition and transition; share best practices; and discuss problems facing the fleet.

For creating the most comprehensive global map of the ocean floor, ONR performer Dr. David Sandwell received the Charles A. Whitten Medal, sponsored by the American Geophysical Union.

The Office of Naval Research's Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning for Photonics, Power & Energy, Atmospherics, and Quantum Science program is focused on machine learning techniques that can be applied to photonics, power and energy, thermal management and controls, atmospherics, communication, and quantum science for improved naval capabilities.

Advanced software that can transform existing medium-sized vessels into unmanned ships able to autonomously complete naval missions. A four-legged, bio-inspired robot that can perform reconnaissance or dispose of explosives safely. A drone that merges the flying capabilities of a helicopter and airplane. All will be showcased to the public during the 2017 Sea-Air-Space Exposition.

The Office of Naval Research's Cryogenically Enabled Electronics Technologies for Mixed Signal Systems program seeks new approaches to achieving 100+ GHz devices, circuits, and signal processors in order to efficiently capture and process wideband RF signals.

An Office of Naval Research-sponsored effort is moving closer to assisting federal law enforcement officials.

Interactive software that can dramatically cut the time it takes to plan safe submarine missions is crossing over to the surface fleet and is being installed this month on the guided-missile cruiser USS Mobile Bay (CG 53).

The Office of Naval Research's Energetic Materials (EM) program explores materials/synthetic chemistry, advanced dynamic diagnostics and theoretical/computational/predictive approaches to provide novel energetic material concepts (explosives, propellants, reactive materials) that maximize molecular and formulation energy densities, synthesis efficiencies and predicted properties to achieve performance goals.

Taking its science-minded message to the Web, ONR launched profiles on Facebook, Twitter and YouTube earlier this year. The digital media initiative is part of a multipronged approach to help ONR communicate more directly and quickly with partners across government, academia and private industry.

The Directed Energy Weapons (DEW) Program is part of the Office of Naval Research's Naval Air Warfare and Weapons Department.
