Fact Sheets
The Office of Naval Research (ONR) explores the cutting edge of science and technology and, if viable, strives to transition that S&T into acquisition programs. While developing long-term technological advances, ONR also maintas a strong emphasis on today's need to pre-empt or defeat threats and forces operating within comlex physical, cyber and social terrains.
For a comprehensive look at some of ONR's current technology research areas -- and research opportunities, therein -- review the listing of fact sheets at the right.
