The Cognitive Science for Human Machine Teaming program seeks to develop empirically grounded models of human cognition and computational architectures that attain human-level intelligence.

The aim of Bio-Inspired Autonomous Systems is to extract principles of sensorimotor control, biomechanics and fluid dynamics of underwater propulsion and control in aquatic and amphibious animals that underlie the agility, stealth, efficiency and sensory adaptations of these animals.

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.

A collaborative effort between the Office of Naval Research Global TechSolutions program and the Naval Air Warfare Center Training Systems Division has resulted in a new technology called Flight Deck Crew Refresher Training Expansion Packs (TEPs) that will deliver cutting-edge training to Sailors and Marines.

Ten scientists and engineers were recently announced as members of the 2019 Class of Vannevar Bush Faculty Fellows (VBFF)—the Department of Defense's most prestigious single-investigator award.

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 U.S. Navy is developing the RHIMES system, a cyber protection system designed to make its shipboard mechanical and electrical control systems resilient to cyber attacks.

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 Office of Naval Research's Marine Meteorology and Space program sponsors innovative basic and applied research in the broad thrust areas of atmospheric prediction and processes, atmospheric effects, air-sea interaction, atmospheric boundary layer processes, satellite remote sensing, and ionospheric analysis and prediction.

The Space Sensor & Effects objective is to develop and experiment with key technology enablers that provide effective and resilient Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance & Targeting (ISRT) capabilities as affordable and proliferated space-borne sensors for littoral & maritime environments.
