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.

Professor Moustafa Abdel-Maksoud of the Hamburg University of Technology in Germany provides details of this ONR Global funded project, which aims to understand the influence of coherent flow vortices on ship maneuvering.

Sea tests concluding Sept. 19 demonstrated the Environmental and Ship Motion Forecasting System.

The Office of Naval Research's Solid-State Laser Technology Maturation program is soliciting industry's investment in developing an open systems laser weapon prototype for the naval surface fleet to counter small unmanned aerial vehicles and small boat threats.

Computer Sciences Corporation (CSC) returned the Navy´s Advanced Electric Ship Demonstrator—or Sea Jet—with a new modified stern to the Office of Naval Research (ONR) on March 14, 2008

The Office of Naval Research is sponsoring research to develop environmentally friendly hull coatings to fight off barnacles and other biofouling on Navy ships.

Interactive software that can dramatically cut the time it takes to plan safe submarine missions is crossing over to the surface fleet and is being installed this month on the guided-missile cruiser USS Mobile Bay (CG 53).

In a time of increasing irregular warfare threats, the Navy has devised and successfully demonstrated a revolutionary technology to help reduce the risk of naval mine strikes to U.S. Navy ships.

New hull coatings being developed by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) are showing promise in reducing the build-up of marine crustaceans – namely barnacles – on ships´ hulls, optimizing vessel performance and dramatically reducing fuel costs.
