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 Arctic and Global Prediction program is motivated by the observed changes in the physical Arctic environment, and the desire to better understand and predict this environment at a variety of time and space scales.

ONR is joining the Bureau of Reclamation and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to explore noise controls at the nation's hydroelectric power plants.

Dr. Richard Carlin, director of the Sea Warfare and Weapons Department in the Office of Naval Research (ONR), was honored with the 2010 Fuel Cell Seminar and Exposition Award on Oct. 19 at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center in San Antonio.

For his “multi-decade visionary leadership role in setting and shepherding the research agenda in AI and computational neuroscience at the Office of Naval Research [ONR],” Dr. Tom McKenna recently was named a 2023 Fellow by the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).

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

Since its creation in 1946, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has supported the early-career research of more than 60 Nobel laureates. ONR is proud to add two new names to that prestigious list — Dr. David Baker of the University of Washington (UW) and Dr. John Hopfield of Princeton University, who received the 2024 Nobel Prize in chemistry and physics, respectively.

The aim of the Biotechnology for Naval Applications Program is to discover and develop biologically based and bioengineered solutions to expand current Warfighter capabilities in the domains of materials, manufacturing, electronics, sensors, and devices.
