Program detail
Mission & acquisition strategy
Today's Sailors and Marines are enabled by Naval Science and Technology (S&T). Since 1946, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has fostered scientific research related to the maintenance of maritime superiority and national defense. ONR manages the Department of the Navy's (DON) portfolio of Naval basic and applied research, and advanced technology development investments to ensure Naval forces can effectively deter conflict, but when called upon, fight, win and come home safe. Current investments hedge against uncertainty, providing solutions to commanders today, and options for the future.

The R-2A exhibit. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only — no five-year plan — and they are descriptive: coverage is partial and they do not always add back to the project, so count them, never total them. Opening lines only here — the full year-by-year narrative is on the project page.

U.S. Sailors are the Navy's main weapons system. Their skill, resilience and courage remain our greatest asymmetric advantage. This Program Element (PE) supports research that advances decision aides, autonomy, human-machine teaming, augmented performance, command and control and protective equipment to ensure Sailors outthink, outperform and outfight adversaries in a complex, maritime environment. This PE also supports developments in biotechnologies, biomanufacturing, and advanced materials technologies to provide new options to enhance performance of Sailors and their platforms. This PE also supports the Office of Naval Research (ONR) Global mission to serve as the preeminent external facilitator for the Naval Research Enterprise. This is accomplished by establishing quality, relevant connections amongst the international research and development community, Naval fleet/forces, DOW, other U.S. Government agencies, industry, and international partners.
