ONR Global Science Advisors are civilian scientists, engineers and technologists selected for a prestigious one- to three-year tour. These experts report to US Navy and United States Marine Corps commands worldwide, focusing on advancing naval warfare technologies. As senior liaisons with science and tech organizations, they: 🔹 Communicate needs to shape S&T investments, 🔹 Leverage the naval community for rapid tech solutions, and 🔹 Gain unique insights into military operations. With cross-cultural and on-the-job training, they emerge as leaders, ready for senior executive roles. Join us in celebrating the brilliant minds driving naval innovation! ⚓ #NavalResearch #Innovation #ONRGlobal #STEM #MilitaryTech

About us
The U.S. Office of Naval Research Global (ONR Global) provides worldwide science & technology (S&T)-based solutions for current and future naval challenges. Leveraging the expertise of more than 50 scientists, technologists and engineers, ONR Global maintains a physical presence on five continents. The command reaches out to the broad global technical community and the operational fleet/force commands to foster cooperation in areas of mutual interest and to bring the full range of possibilities to the Navy and Marine Corps. Shortly after ONR was founded in 1946, the command assumed the responsibility of the wartime-era's Office of Scientific Research and Development liaison office in London. It aimed to identify promising research opportunities in Europe and the Middle East. By 1977, the ONR's European and Tokyo offices had combined to form the international field office with a single, Department of the Navy-wide, international S&T strategy for fostering international collaboration. Over the decades, ONR Global has reached out to increase and expand its cooperative activities with offices in Singapore, Tokyo, Santiago, Prague, Sao Paulo and Arlington, Virginia.

ONR Global's most valuable resource is its employees: Without the great minds and the will to find the best S&T solutions for the warfighter, the mission could not succeed. Among these exceptional individuals is Thomas Gallagher, Director for ONR Global’s Science Advisor Program. Since 2016, Gallagher has managed a diverse and dynamic team of 23 Science Advisors, strategically positioned within naval operational commands across the globe. Science Advisors serve as their host operational command’s senior liaison for S&T. In this role, they network with organizations across government, academia and industry, to provide technological solutions addressing high-priority fleet challenges. He is continually energized by his involvement in the science advisor program, Gallagher said. “Being a Science Advisor was incredibly rewarding for me,” he said. “It’s about making a genuine impact –not just for the senior leaders of operational staff, but also for the Sailors and Marines at the deck-plate level. I love knowing that I helped make their jobs safer, more efficient, or provided them with capabilities they’ve needed for a long time.” Gallagher adds, “I’ve had the privilege of delivering solutions on several fronts, and that feeling of making a difference for our naval warfighters keeps me and the current group of Science Advisors motivated.” #employeespotlight #profile #onrglobal #onrg #scienceadvisors

With participation from over 30 countries, SynBio Africa has just wrapped up its third annual event, marking significant progress in advancing S&T across the continent. 🌍 Started four years ago by Ugandan businessman and researcher Geoffrey Otim, Office of Naval Research Global (ONR Global) is a founding partner of the multi-agency sponsored initiative to expand synthetic biology across the continent. Synthetic biology is a branch of science that merges biology with engineering principles to create or modify biological entities with specific, useful characteristics. By assembling biological parts like DNA sequences or entire systems, scientists can engineer organisms to perform new tasks, such as producing medicines or generating renewable energy sources. At this year’s conference, ONR Global Science Directors Dr. Scott Walper and Dr. Martina Siwek (Regional Chief Scientist for Europe, Africa, the Americas and the Middle East) connected with academics, industry leaders and policymakers, offering strategic direction and sharing innovative ideas. Already, their efforts are yielding results: they've received several white papers and multiple requests for follow-up meetings! Interested in learning more?

Thank you to our recent industry visitors from SandboxAQ and DRIFT Energy Ltd! It was great to catch up with Capt Ben C. from USMC Region West and to meet Debbie Lawrence from the US Office of the Secretary of Defense's Operational Energy Innovation. From non-GPS precision navigation to harvesting hydrogen under sail, it was very interesting to see how private industry is tackling some of the hardest problems. #bettertogether Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO) Jaimie Roylance OBE Chester Butterworth Office of Naval Research Global (ONR Global) Andy Berner (Derrick) Marcus Tepaske Joel Uzarski Noam Oz Graham "Gray" Chynoweth Jeffrey Brewer Daniel Weil Robert Leonard Marc Christino BMNT

Inside the latest issue of Future Force: 🔹 Chief of Naval Research Rear Adm. Kurt Rothenhaus reflects on US Navy and United States Marine Corps technological capabilities, both crewed and uncrewed, from the seafloor to space. 🔹 A tribute to the life and accomplishments of Don Walsh: How his storied career and extraordinary life have influenced naval research, by our historian, Colin Babb. 🔹 Can the Naval Postgraduate School's growing 3D printing and advanced manufacturing capabilities facilitate expeditionary logistics in the United States Department of Defense? The answer is a resounding yes. 🔹 Unmanned undersea vehicles save lives and generate enormous amounts of data. As UUVs become more sophisticated, the need for developments in artificial intelligence and machine learning grows. Program officers from PMS 408 and Naval Information Warfare Center Pacific discuss. 🔹 A "rocky" start? U.S. Marines' training with new NATO partner Sweden is the perfect preparation for challenges over rugged terrain. 🔹 Polar pathfinding in a bluer Arctic Ocean is challenging environmentally, meteorologically, strategically, and logistically. But with a little help from our friends, we're still able to protect the seven seas. 🔹 In an imaginative look at the future, retired Navy authors envision a U.S. Navy where sailors and their platforms will be connected in more powerful ways than ever. 🔹 Naval Information Warfare Center Atlantic continues to make waves with a new manufacturing facility and a new lab in Quantico. 📰 Read all about it! https://lnkd.in/eb8Dvavu

We LOVE hearing first hand from Sailors and Marines! Being invited onboard HMS PRINCE OF WALES led to such an insightful and energetic day for the London Tech Bridge team! Through our previous and continued industry engagement, we aim to match novel solutions to Sailor/Marine problems. Additionally, we will facilitate cross talk with the US Navy to identify any solutions that may already being applied to any problem areas and to share best practices observed from the Royal Navy. 🇬🇧 🇺🇲 What an amazing crew! We appreciate how engaging the junior and senior rates were during our session with them. Their openness and desire to level up individually and as a crew shined through. We look forward to the coming weeks of analyzing the data and seeing what technologies can be applied or improved to help them sharpen their operating edge. A huge thank you to Lt Toni H. and Lt Robbie Darnton-Summers for all their coordination before the event and during execution! Also, thank you to Capt Will Blackett and Cdr Thomas Leonard for being so welcoming and allowing us to have so much time with their crew. As always we like to make it a team effort! It was great to have Office of Naval Research Global (ONR Global)'s CAPT Andy Berner, Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO)'s Lt Col Iain Sutherland/Christopher Hellier/Tom Hartnell, Common Mission Project UK's Jordan James Kirkwood Cmgr MCMI, Royal Navy's Maritime Enterprise's Sharon Jones, interns Sierra Yost/Aaron Wildenborg/Faith Oluwaremi, and from Navy Commercial and Digital Claire Budden/Gavin Marshall/Nicholas London/Alexandria Bastiaens. #bettertogether NavalX Joel Uzarski Noam Oz Scott Bewley Martin Connell CBE Paul Beattie CBE MSc Graham "Gray" Chynoweth Juliet Swinea William Treseder Robert Leonard Daniel Weil Jeffrey Brewer Marc Christino BMNT BMNT, Ltd.
