The Office of Naval Research has developed a Common Control System for military ground, air and undersea unmanned systems that will work across the services.

New technology sponsored by ONR will be used to help Navy and civilian officials planf or stormy weather.

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.

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 competition—sponsored by the Office of Naval Research and the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International Foundation—is an autonomous robotics challenge where teams put their autonomous surface vehicles through a marked navigation channel and a series of challenges. The goal is to boost student interest in science, technology, engineering and mathematics and to inspire them to follow a naval career in these fields.

For the last 50 years, the Office of Naval Research has been in the business of guiding the most "imaginative research" * found across the country. Technologies taken for granted today – the cell phone, the Global Positioning System, the laser, the national bone marrow donor program, for example –...

ONR Global serves as the conduit between the Office of Naval Research, the Naval Research Enterprise, the naval fleet/forces and the international science and technology communities.

ONR-sponsored researchers found a new way to precisely measure the vortices created by birds’ wings during flight, shedding greater light on how these creatures produce enough lift to fly.

The Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), Adm. Jonathan Greenert, today outlined the top science and technology objectives for the Navy and Marine Corps of the future, at the Naval Future Force Science and Technology (S&T) EXPO in Washington, D.C.

The goal of the surface ship hydrodynamics and dynamics research area is to develop increased understanding and predictive simulation capabilities of nonlinear interaction of surface ship and ocean environment, free surface turbulence, surface ship dynamics, and hydrodynamic loads in relevant operation environment.
