The Office of Naval Research's Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning for Photonics, Power & Energy, Atmospherics, and Quantum Science program is focused on machine learning techniques that can be applied to photonics, power and energy, thermal management and controls, atmospherics, communication, and quantum science for improved naval capabilities.

Smaller than the Predator and Global Hawk, the Office of Naval Research's unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), Silver Fox, comes ready for the hunt.

The Office of Naval Research has demonstrated how crowdsourcing may speed response times to critical locations, save lives, and limit damage caused by natural disaster.

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.

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.

The Office of Naval Research's Applied Cyber Resiliency program focuses on advancing fundamental technology to ruggedize naval data and software systems to achieve mission objectives in the face of adversarial cyber interference.

The Office of Naval Research (ONR) will manage a new institute to spur innovation, manufacturing and implementation of lightweight and modern metals—part of a White House initiative announced Feb. 25 that aims to strengthen national defense and U.S. manufacturing through public and private partnerships.

Special Program Announcement for Office of Naval Research Research Opportunity: “Science of Artificial Intelligence – Basic and Applied Research for the Naval Domain”

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.

Navy engineers are making final adjustments to a laser weapon prototype that will be the first of its kind to deploy aboard a ship late this summer.
