Naval Research Laboratory Overview
Abstract
The Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL) mission is to conduct a broadly based multidisciplinary program of scientific research and advanced technological development directed toward maritime applications of new and improved materials, techniques, equipment, systems and ocean, atmospheric, and space sciences and related technologies; perform primary in-house research for the physical, engineering, space, and environmental sciences; conduct a broadly based applied research and advanced technology development program in response to identified and anticipated Navy and Marine Corps needs; provide broad multidisciplinary support to the Naval Warfare Centers; provide space and space systems technology development and support; and serve as the Navy's corporate laboratory. NRL's primary research thrusts are Sensors, Electronics, and Electronic Warfare; Materials/Processes; Marine Atmosphere and Ocean Environments; Undersea Warfare; Information Systems Technology; Space Platforms; and Technology Transfer. The briefing charts also describe the establishment of NRL, the laboratory's organizational structure, laboratory locations, District of Columbia field sites, key capabilities of remote sites, Scientific Development Squadron ONE (VXS-1), financial sponsors, science and technology base program, educational and technical background of NRL's scientists and engineers, NRL as one of the top 10 U.S. science institutions, and NRL's high value to the Navy. The final chart is a chronology of NRL accomplishments.
