[Office of Naval Research (ONR) @USNavyResearch]

Across conversations with industry and Naval leadership at Sea-Air-Space, there was clear interest in ONR’s mission, resources and commitment to supporting the warfighter through innovation.

At our exhibits alongside NRL and ONR Global, the focus was on partnership and highlighting the many ways we work with industry to develop and deliver capability. The panel, “Doing Biz with ONR and NRL,” underscored the pathways available to small businesses to contribute to research and technology efforts, and ultimately help bridge the Valley of Death.

That focus carried into leadership discussions: during Tuesday’s panel, “From Concept to Capability: Aligning Autonomy Across our Maritime Forces,” Chief of Naval Research Dr. Rachel Riley and Vice Chief of Naval Research Brig. Gen. Dustin Byrum emphasized the importance of aligning emerging technologies with operational needs across the Fleet and Force.

Whether through discussions on autonomy, demonstrations of distributed training, or handheld tools designed for use in the field, the emphasis remained the same: delivering innovative, scalable capability that can meet real-world demands.

At ONR, our role is to ensure the S&T we sponsor does not stop at discovery. We are transitioning our research into capabilities that deliver advantage and readiness for the Naval warfighter.

The conversations we had this week will carry forward into the work ahead.
