An Office of Naval Research (ONR)-supported enterprise is bringing sweeping changes to electric power and energy education at universities throughout the country.

The Office of Naval Research developed the Universal Gateway, which collapses the 30 connections on any Navy destroyer, cruiser or carrier between the combat systems (weapons and sensors) and command and control systems into a single portal, rapidly automating data integration, enhancing information assurance and reducing manpower workloads and costs.
