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.

The Ocean Engineering and Marine Systems program seeks to provide a knowledge framework for advanced engineering methodologies and to accelerate the transition of basic research developments into advanced marine platform systems with applications to unmanned surveillance and monitoring systems for the naval forces and at-sea experimental capabilities for the ocean sciences community.

Have a hankering to chill your Cherry Garcia™ and to listen to Jerry Garcia using the same system? The concept may not be too far off. The Office of Naval Research has long funded researchers at Penn State who now have proved they can build a compact freezer case substituting sound waves for...

The 2005 Naval-Industry R&D Partnership Conference will take place July 26-29 at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center in Washington, D.C. The theme, “Enabling Naval Innovations to Win the Global War on Terrorism,” will promote the Navy/Marine Corps objective to rapidly develop and implement innovative solutions to the unique challenges of this war.

The first industry-built Electromagentic Railgun prototype launcher will undergo government evaluation.

Navy Secretary Ray Mabus discussed several ONR-funded technologies during his Dec. 7 visit to a Marine Corps Base in Hawaii.

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.

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

In late March, the U.S. Navy established a camp on a severe and unforgivingly cold stretch of ice about 150 miles north of Deadhorse, Alaska.

A laser with the potential to jam heat-seeking missiles and sniff out chemicals is one of 358 technologies patented by the U.S. Navy in 2012, helping the service dominate the government category in an annual ranking of patent portfolios published Oct. 23.
