Nearly 50 high school and university teams faced off at the 2018 International RoboSub Competition at San Diego’s Space and Naval Warfare Systems Center Pacific.

In an effort to increase the range and detection of various unmanned surface vessels (USVs), the Office of Naval Research (ONR)-sponsored SCOUT initiative recently conducted a unique demonstration event off the coast of Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Two Office of Naval Research (ONR)-supported professors — Dr. Terrence Sejnowski of the University of California, San Diego and Dr. Haim Sompolinsky of Harvard University and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem — recently won the 2024 Brain Prize for pioneering contributions to computational and theoretical neuroscience.

Office of Naval Research program officer Harold Hawkins received the 2003 Dr. Arthur E. Bisson Prize for Naval Technology Achievement from Chief of Naval Research Rear Admiral Jay Cohen at a ceremony in Arlington, Va, on June 22, 2004

The Office of Naval Research’s ocean research is yielding enhanced weather and ocean prediction models that help Navy leaders understand how to route ships around the globe safely, reducing fuel consumption and avoiding ice flows.

The Office of Naval Research Computational Methods for Decision Making Applied Research Program is composed of three thrusts—Large-scale Distributed Decision-making, Automated Image Understanding and Resource Optimization.

Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Lorin C. Selby last week introduced a new vision for future naval power—one based on faster development of unmanned, autonomous systems, vibrant partnerships with industry and academia, and reimagined naval formations.

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 experimentation campaign to identify new ways to bring unmanned technologies to warfighter problems, test them in realistic operating conditions and get them to the fleet and force. SCOUT is committed to partnering with industry to get nontraditional, commercial-off-the-shelf, government-developed and/or government-sponsored technologies to the fleet rapidly.

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.
