A key element of ONRG is the Fleet/Force Division.
Reservist support to Fleet/Force Division is accomplished
through managing and supporting the Naval Research
Science Advisor (NRSA) program. The 26 NRSAs are highly
experienced senior engineers and scientists, competitively
selected from the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL),
Warfare Centers, or other components of the Naval
Research Enterprise (NRE), and the broader National
Research Enterprise, for 2 - 3 year tours on major
fleet and command staffs. Each NRSA reports directly
to the Flag or General officer. They are thus deployed
throughout the world and are a pivotal component in
the process of communicating S&T solution requests
to components of the NRE and in ensuring that Fleet/Force
personnel are made aware of emerging technological
products that can provide an operational advantage.
Reservists also support ONR TechSolutions, which
solicits direct inputs from all Fleet/Force personnel
and develops near-term technologies.
