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.

Tactical Artificial Intelligence (AI) for Marine Corps focuses on advanced research into modeling and simulation with a specific emphasis on developing decision aids at the tactical level to support Marine Corps small unit decision making.

The Office of Naval Research's Cyber Security and Complex Software Systems program focuses on developing the fundamental principles and models for the design and construction of complex software systems that meet required assurances for security, safety, reliability and performance.

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.

The Computational Neuroscience program aims to extract the computational principles of real neural circuits and systems to create novel, more powerful algorithms for pattern recognition and control.

ONR SCOUT is an ongoing, multiagency campaign to identify new ways to bring novel capabilities to warfighter challenges, experiment with them in realistic operating conditions, and operationalize them in partnership with the fleet and force. As part of its continued evolution, SCOUT is now partnering with U.S. Pacific Fleet (PACFLT) to address problem areas identified by both warfighters and senior leadership. The SCOUT team is inviting industry partners to discuss cutting-edge concepts and solutions during an Industry Innovation Exchange on Tuesday, April 4, during the Navy League’s Sea-Air-Space Exposition, held at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

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 Human Interaction with Autonomous Systems program aims to create cognitively-compatible intelligent autonomous systems and robots that could serve as teammates with humans, enabling peer-to-peer collaboration among humans, robots, intelligent agents and autonomous systems.

The Office of Naval Research recently sponsored the Defend the Republic STEM competition at George Mason University in Virginia. The contest featured lighter-than-air vehicles, also called blimps.

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.
