  1. What can NRL do for you?(And what can you do for NRL?)presented byShannon Mensi, Public Affairs Officer& Kathleen Chapman, Patent Attorney The Navy’s corporate research laboratory. Research Development Technology UNCLASSIFIED

  2. Topics of our Talk • Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) • Structure, Funding • NRL-Stennis Space Center (NRL-SSC) • Mission, research • Available NRL Technology • How to work with NRL and NRL-SSC

  3. Collocated Research and Operational Centers Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) Operations Research Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisition) U.S. Fleet Forces (USFF) Oceanographer of the Navy Office of Naval Research Chief of Naval Research Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (CNMOC) Universities Naval Research Laboratory NRL-MRY NRL-SSC Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVO) Naval Oceanography Operations Command (COO) Anti-Submarine Warfare Center (NOAC) Fleet Survey Team ISR Component Naval Ice Center Key Special Warfare Comp. Monterey, CA Washington, DC Fleet Numerical Meteorology and Oceanography Center (FNMOC) Mine Warfare Center (NOMWC) Stennis Space Center Norfolk, VA NAVSCIATTS* SBT-22*

  4. Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command “Responsible for command and management of the Naval Oceanography Program, utilizing meteorology and oceanography, GI&S, and precise time and astrometry, to leverage the environment to enable successful strategic, tactical and operational battle space utilization across the continuum of campaigning and at all levels of war – strategic, operationalandtactical.”

  5. Naval Research Laboratory To conduct a broadly based multidisciplinary program of scientific research and advanced technological development directed toward maritime applications of new and improved materials, techniques, equipments, systems and ocean atmospheric and space sciences and related technologies.

  6. Why is the Navy interested basic research and development (R&D)? • To maintain the competitive scientific, technological and innovative advantage of our Navy and Marine Corps warfighters. • Examples: • GPS—developed by NRL. • Sonar—developed by NRL. • Radar—developed by NRL.

  9. Working Capital Fund • NRL is a Navy Working Capital Fund activity • (vice an appropriated fund activity or mission-funded activity) • The Navy Working Capital Fund is a Revolving Fund: • (Operates similar to a private business model) • Buyer-seller relationship with customers • Charged fixed prices (stabilized rates) with goal to break-even • No lump sum pot of money or federal budget line item to fund NRL. • Therefore, NRL charges customers/sponsors for all costs.

  10. Allocation of Funding

  11. Lines of Business • Sensors, Electronics & Electronic Warfare • Materials/Processes • Battlespace Environments • Air / Surface / Undersea Warfare • Information Systems Technology • Space Platforms • Technology Transfer

  12. Undersea Warfare (13%) Materials & Chemistry (25%) Information Technology (4%) Space Res. & Space Tech (8%) Battlespace Environments (16%) Electronics (18%) Science and technology for communications, information security, decision support, and autonomous systems. Development of advanced functional and structural materials Research and advanced technologies for undersea sensors for ASW/MW Research leadership on new electronic and electro-optic phenomena, materials, theory and techniques for future Naval forces and avoid technological surprise Barny and Long Ranger ADPCs Understand the space environment and its effects on Naval Systems.

  13. NRL Stennis Space Center • Acoustic Simulation, Measurements and Tactics Branch • Conducting basic and applied research in undersea physics. • Oceanography Division • Executing a research program to understand, define and predict dynamical, physical, bio-physical and optical processes of the open, coastal and littoral ocean. • Marine Geosciences Division • Conducting a multidisciplinary program of applied scientific research and technology development in marine geosciences, geospatial information and related technologies.

  14. Acoustic Simulation, Measurements and Tactics Branch Acoustic Modeling and Uncertainty • How will the undersea environment affect a sound we make underwater? • How long does it take for a sound to dissipate at 100-m depth with a rocky seafloor? • What happens if we make a high-pitched sound at the surface of the ocean? • Let’s develop a way to find out.

  15. Oceanography Division Waves, tides, circulation, ice, clarity, chemistry, currents • How does the thickness of ice at the Arctic Cap this summer compare to last summer? • How do water turbidity affect how well divers see underwater? • How high will the waves be tomorrow off Cape Town, South Africa? • Let’s develop a way to find out.

  16. Marine Geosciences Division Seafloor Characteristics/Processes & GIS • How strong is the layer of slime on the floor of the Bay of St. Louis? • Can we capture methane from the seafloor and use it as a viable energy source? • How does the grain size of sand affect sand ripples and how do those ripples impact the movement of sand bars? • Let’s develop a way to find out.
