Technology areas that ONR is pursuing are provided at the ONR website at https://www.onr.navy.mil/our-research/technology-areas.
Click on the technology area of interest for a brief description of that research area being pursued by ONR.

Focus areas for Marine Corps Warfighting Lab MCWL experimentation include:
1. Expeditionary Logistics. Technologies to sustain distributed operations in austere and
remote environments.
2. Interoperable Command and Control (C2) Systems. Technologies that enhance information sharing within the Marine Air Ground Task Force (MAGTF) and among Joint, Naval and Coalition forces that are Tactical Service Oriented Architecture (TSOA) compliant.
3. C2 Afloat or the Naval Operational Architecture. Technologies that integrate fleet and MAGTF tactical grids to command and control distributed operations afloat and ashore.
4. Communications and Networking. Technologies to improve secure information exchange over the horizon and on the move.
5. Lightening the Load. Technologies that reduce the size and weight of the total load of the MAGTF as well as the individual Marine.
6. Counter Improvised Explosive Device (IED)/Mine. Technologies that enhance IED/mine detection, neutralization or pre- detonation.
7. Persistent Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR). Technologies that enhance sensor acquisition, fusion and data distribution, technologies to maximize payload flexibility and endurance of unmanned systems.
8. Urban Operations. Technologies that enable the ability to operate in densely populated cities.
9. Amphibious Operations Enablers. Technologies that enhance the ability to operate from ship to shore.
10. Precision Fires.
11. Cyberspace Operations. Technologies to defend networks, evade/react to attacks and counter or exploit enemy networks.
12. Electronic Warfare. Technologies enabling electronic warfare support, attack, and protection in order to ensure maneuver in the electromagnetic spectrum and deny the adversary the same.
13. Information Operations. Technologies enabling information related capabilities.
14. Simulation, Training & Human Performance. Adaptable and deployable training systems and technologies that enhance the speed and effectiveness of training.
15. Medical Technologies. Technologies to improve the medical care for Marines through prevention, protection and casualty response: blood storage; patient thermoregulation; hand held real-time health assessment devices; mobile power; medical shelter.
16. Counter Shooter/Counter Surveillance. Situational awareness and options to counter enemy surveillance and direct fire targeting.
17. Signature Management. Technologies that improve friendly force signature management,
18. Other Supporting Missions.
    a. Scalable, flexible-range non-lethal weapons.
    b. Automated, hand held language translation systems.
    c. Systems to improve boarding of vessels for search and seizures.
    d. Technologies that can detect and/or neutralize small unmanned aerial systems.
    e. Technologies that enable operations in a Global Positioning System (GPS) denied environment.
    f. Technologies that enable ‘swarming’ of unmanned systems.
