The stuff of Army and Marine Corps boot camp is legendary - mud, grueling marches, hours of, climbing and crawling with the requisite 100-lb pack, through smoke, barbed wire, gun and missile fire, with sweat, little sleep, scanty rations, and punishing, in-your-face "trainers." The culminating final...

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

The Department of Navy's HBCU/MI Faculty Start-up Program in Materials enhances infrastructure for HBCUs/MIs by providing start-up funding for new, untenured faculty members whose teaching and research impact DoD needs in materials science/engineering.

Analytics, Modeling and Simulation for Local and Regional Situation Awareness supports the development of data, analytics, decision tools, and models to support combatant commands in comprehensive understanding of mission environments, together with modeling and simulation efforts to improve wargaming and exercises.

A product of ONR's TechSolutions program, Solid State Lighting is one of several rapid-response technologies created using recommendations and suggestions from Navy and Marine Corps personnel.

What does remote sensing for camouflaged enemy ground vehicles have to do with breast cancer diagnosis? By next year, perhaps plenty. A smart sensor fusion algorithm modeled on the human visual/brain "unsupervised" learning system and a 200 channel hyperspectral remote sensing capability have been...

ONR recently tested the new Mine Warfare Rapid Assessment Capability (MIW RAC), an unmanned aerial drone that detects mines and provides real-time search data to a handheld device.

Assessing surf zone conditions has never been an exact science for the Department of the Navy. That’s about to change thanks to a recent request to TechSolutions, which has resulted in new surf observation (SUROB) technology to make operational forecasts more precise. For the past six months, a team of scientists and engineers from the Naval Research Lab (NRL) and the U.S. Army’s Engineering Research and Development Center (ERDC) have been developing the technological tools needed to create a more precise surf observation report. In order to gain greater insight into how the surf observation tool may improve warfighter operations, NavalX recently organized a workshop that brought together the science and engineering developers with the Sailors and Marines who would use it. TechSolutions received the request less than a year ago for a technology-driven solution for surf observation from Maj. Zachary Taylor, a technology officer with the Marines’ Warfighting Lab. Within weeks, TechSolutions began working with the development team at NRL and ERDC to come up with a prototype.

Develop technologies for Naval Strike Group Training and Assessment.

Quantum computers may be able to help create new pharmaceuticals, understand chemical reactions, solve certain problems that are otherwise intractable, create new materials and allow for highly disruptive applications in numerous sectors.
