The Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University Initiative (MURI) efforts involve teams of researchers investigating high priority topics and opportunities that intersect more than one traditional technical discipline. For many military problems this multidisciplinary approach serves to stimulate innovations, accelerate research progress and expedite transition of results into naval applications.

The Laser Weapons and Combat System Integration Program is part of the Office of Naval Research's Naval Air Warcraft and Weapons Department.

The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program (DURIP) supports university research infrastructure essential to high quality Navy relevant research. The research instrumentation that is necessary to carry out cutting-edge research.

The Symposium on Naval Hydrodynamics (SNH) is a prestigious, biennial international forum co-sponsored by the Office of Naval Research to promote the technical exchange of naval hydrodynamics research and developments of common interest among the global community.

The Symposium on Naval Hydrodynamics (SNH) is a prestigious, biennial international forum co-sponsored by the Office of Naval Research to promote the technical exchange of naval hydrodynamics research and developments of common interest among the global community. The Third Symposium on Naval Hydrodynamics was held Sept. 19-22, 1960, in Scheveningen, Netherlands.

NOTICE OF FUNDING OPPORTUNITY (NOFO): Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 Department of War Multidisciplinary Research Program of the University Research Initiative (MURI)

The Office of Naval Research's high energy lasers and pulsed lasers research concentration area is focused on the development of next-generation laser weapon systems deployable on a variety of naval platforms, that can automatically adjust their power, beam characteristics and engagement strategies based on the specific threat environment and operational objectives.

The Office of Naval Research's Lethality and Operation Analysis research concentration area is focused on creating and validating a multi-layered modeling and simulation (M&S) framework that analyzes Directed Energy (DE) weapon lethality and operational effectiveness.

The Office of Naval Research's High Power Microwaves (HPM) research concentration area present focus areas are twofold. First is to explore technologies, including effects mechanisms, to enable engagement of targets at higher frequencies (X through K bands) and, thus, greater directivity. Second is the reduction of required power on target through the exploration of novel HPM systems that provide rapid on-demand shot-to-shot waveform parameter adjustability.
