In-House Lab Independent Res
Abstract
The Office of Naval Research's (ONR) mission is to ensure the technological advantage of U.S. Naval forces. ONR fosters scientific research necessary for the discovery, development and delivery of new technologies. Naval laboratories funded by ONR provide cutting-edge solutions and to Navy and national challenges. The In-house Laboratory Independent Research (ILIR) program provides opportunities to strengthen the Naval Science and Engineering (S&E) workforce capabilities through basic research conducted at the Naval Warfare Centers and Laboratories. These research efforts address high risk/high payoff warfighter science and technological needs, as well as attract the next generation of researchers to consider employment within the Department of the Navy. ILIR also provides opportunities for advanced degrees, technical publications, presentations, and patents. The Science and Engineering Apprenticeship Program (SEAP) and the Naval Research Enterprise Intern Program (NREIP) summer programs encourage students to pursue science and engineering careers, further their education via mentoring by laboratory personnel, and participate in research, which can lead to employment within the Department of the Navy. 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 Naval S&T budget supports higher guidance defined by the National Defense Strategy, and responds to requirements identified by the Secretary of the Navy through research priorities set by the Chief of Naval Research, coordinated across the Naval Research Enterprise (NRE), and outlined in the Naval R&D Framework. This Program Element (PE) funds Basic Research and systematic study directed toward greater knowledge or understanding of the fundamental aspects of phenomena and of observable facts without specific applications towards processes or products in mind. The work in this PE can be classified between Technology Readiness Level (TRL) 1 (basic principles observed and reported) and TRL 2 (technology concept and/or application formulation). Due to the number of efforts in PE 0601152N, the programs described herein are representative of the work included in this PE.
