Cognitive and Behavioral Sciences at the Office of Naval Research

Abstract

With one of its six research departments focused on enhancing the performance of US Navy and Marine Corps personnel, the Office of Naval Research (ONR) has invested considerably in the cognitive and behavioral sciences. A significant portion of this investment has been in basic and applied research in human cognition, designed to understand the human operator's cognitive capabilities in order to better support individual and team decision making in complex environments. This research, most of which is carried out at universities, will ultimately inform the design of human-machine interfaces such as spatio-temporal situation displays, decision support systems, and collaboration tools. This presentation will discuss relevant ONR programs in the cognitive and behavioral sciences, as well as provide an overview of ONR Global and the tools available to support collaboration between Indian researchers and the US Naval Research Enterprise.
