How accurate is your kitchen clock? Probably good enough to get you to work on time, but perhaps not good enough for extremely precise ship and aircraft navigation, ground to outer space communications, or missile guidance.

To protect U.S. Navy divers operating in freezing conditions, ONR is sponsoring work to design a wetsuit mirroring the insulating properties of animal blubber, allowing divers to swim in frozen waters for longer periods of time.

The Office of Naval Research is sponsoring work to develop a breakthrough medical wrap that will not only cover injured limbs, but also mitigate damage and protect tissue for up to three days.

ONR sponsors work in advanced electronics, such as the Precise At-Sea Ship System for Indoor-Outdoor Navigation (PASSION), that ratchets up the Navy’s ability to keep thorough tabs on its environment. PASSION enables wireless position tracking of both the external and internal environment of naval vessels.

The Office of the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition honored the team with the 2011 Dr. Delores M. Etter Top Scientists and Engineers of the Year Award, citing the team’s work to significantly advance the EM Railgun launcher technology.

Two prototype (preproduction) weld seam facing tools, which were developed under a Navy Metalworking Center (NMC) project, were recently delivered to Bath Iron Works (BIW) and Northrop Grumman Shipbuilding-Gulf Coast (NGSB-GC).

In response to the coronavirus pandemic and resulting ventilator shortages, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) recently sponsored work to develop low-cost, easily built ventilator prototypes for both hospital and field settings. This effort involves ONR; ONR Global, the command’s international arm; and the University of California San Diego (UCSD).

A team of researchers led by Dr. Rajesh Rao, a professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Washington, recently published a paper showing how robots can learn much like children—amassing data by watching adults do something, determining the goal of the action and then deciding how to perform it on their own. Rao’s work is sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR).

The Office of Naval Research is sponsoring work to determine if computer games can help Navy recruits find military jobs they’ll enjoy and turn into long-term careers.
