  2. What is the ONR? The Office of Naval Research enables innovative operational concepts . . . . . . we develop the science and technology that ensures our warfighters always have “the technological edge.”

  3. A Tradition of Relevant Research • EMRG • Infantry • Immersive Trainer • Super conducting • Motors • Integrated Topside 2002 GWOT Support QuikClot Silver Fox Dragon Eye REMUS Sand Abatement Counter-IED 1995 Clementine explores moon 1985 ONR funded tech finds Titanic 1981Global atmospheric prediction model 1972First GPS satellite in orbit 1967 GPS concept validated 1965 SEALAB I & II 1960 1st U.S. Intel satellite launched by NRL Bathyscathe Trieste descends to 35,000 feet 1964 Alvin enters service 1946 ONR established 1934 First U.S. radar patents filed by NRL 1949 1st Navy Viking Rocket launched 1939 1st nuclear sub design Proposed by NRL 1923 NRL established Present

  4. S&T Strategy Objectives • Align Naval S&T with Naval missions and future capability needs • Balance and manage S&T portfolio based on key tenets: • Strive to engage with intellectual capital worldwide • Leverage U.S. and global technology insights • Maintain equilibrium between long-term basic research and near-term advanced prototyping • Be innovative and adaptive – lead science where it is critical to the Navy/marine Corps Vision • Navy/Marine Corps Vision • Leverage technology developments across the entire DoD • Communicate S&T vision and approach to senior decision makers, key stakeholders, S&T partners, customers and performers

  5. ONR S&T Portfolio Balance Discovery & Invention (Basic and Applied Science) Hi Leap Ahead Innovations 10% Focus 40% Acquisition Enablers Quick Reaction S&T 30% 10% Lo Near Mid Far S&T has a long-term focus but is responsive to near - term Naval needs

  6. Naval S&T Focus Areas • Power and Energy • Operational Environments • Maritime Domain Awareness • Asymmetric & Irregular Warfare • Information Superiority and Communication • (was Information, Analysis, & Communication) • Power Projection • Assure Access and Hold at Risk • Distributed Operations • Naval Warfighter Performance • (was Naval Warrior Performance and Protection • Survivability and Self-Defense • Platform Mobility • Fleet/Force Sustainment • Affordability, Maintainability, and Reliability

  7. ONR S&T Enterprise Span • 50 States • 70 Countries • 1,035 Universities and Non-Profit Entities • 914 Companies • 3,340 Principal Investigators • 3,000 Grad Students

  11. FY09 OSD Increases toDoN Defense Research Sciences Redistribution of DARPA 6.1 funding to DoN 6.1: Transferred $10M in FY09 & FY10 and $15M FY11 and out Secretary Gates 6.1 plus-up:Increased DoN 6.1 program over all years by $20-30M per year (varies year-to-year) Areas of increased funding (all for competitive award) • Bio-Inspired Sciences • EW / Counter EW • Energy / Power Management • Human Sciences • Immersive Sciences for Training • Cyber Protection / Info Assurance • Quantum Information Sciences • Info Fusion / Decision Science • Complex Software Systems • Anti-Tamper Approaches • Software Sciences • Directed Energy • Science of Autonomy • Social/Cultural/Behavioral Modeling • Affordability • Basic Research Challenge Program

  12. Navy Small Business Innovation Research Program Funds small firm development of innovative technology solutions to Navy warfighter needs • FY2009 Navy SBIR + STTR: ~ $400 M • Quarterly Solicitations: • 2009.1 (now closed) offered 92 topics • 2009.2 is open from 20 April to 17 June Go to http://dodsbir.net “Solicitations”, see instructions • Awards • 6-month Phase I at ~$100K • 2-year Phase II at ~$1M Goal of transition into Navy acquisition programs • Navy SBIR/STTR encourages minority participation • FY2007-2008, we made 84 awards to minority applicants Visit us at http://www.onr.navy.mil/sci_tech/3t/sbir_sttr SBIR - Small Business Innovation Research STTR –Small Business Technology Transfer

  14. The Next Big Thing ONR meets the S&T needs of our next-generation warfighter today We plan, foster and encourage scientific research We provide the science and technology (S&T) necessary to maintain the Navy and Marine Corps' technological warfighting dominance We are recognized and acknowledged as “leading the vision” for the Navy and Marine Corps' future force “I am always looking for the ‘next big thing,’ and I believe ONR is the organization to deliver that for our Navy.” ― Adm. Gary Roughead Chief of Naval Operations
