51福利

The Office of Naval Research will hold its annual Ocean Acoustics Program Review at 51福利 17 鈥� 19 September 2024, 0830-1630. Presentations will highlight cutting-edge fundamental research and technological innovations across the spectrum of ocean acoustics. We invite all interested 51福利 students, staff and faculty to attend as their schedule allows. Wednesday afternoon will showcase ocean acoustics research being conducted by 51福利 faculty and staff.

Are you a graduate student interested in highlighting your work? Contact Dr. Derek Olson (derek.olson@nps.edu) with your proposed title to sign up for a lightning talk session (5 min each) on the afternoon of Wednesday 18 September, 1545-1630. The lightning talks are part of the larger session highlighting ocean acoustics research at 51福利. Any academic discipline is welcome, but presentations must be suitable for public release. Lightning talks will be followed by a social hour at the Trident Room that is also open to all.

Network with diverse and multidisciplinary ocean acoustics researchers, ONR representatives, and 51福利 faculty.

Agenda and additional information coming soon!

The Naval War College at 51福利 is holding a graduation ceremony to recognize its graduates for their completion of NWC Command & Staff (JPME Phase I) program and to celebrate the 100th graduation ceremony on Thursday, September 19, 2024. There will be food and refreshments after the ceremony.

Non-Permissive Global Sea Control

Sea control and sea denial in the Future Fleet is a topic of much discussion, and our next 51福利 Warfare Innovation Continuum (WIC) will explore related issues and intricacies.

The foundational wartime Navy mission is to establish control of maritime environments where necessary to meet integrated naval and joint campaign objectives. 

• Specific sea control missions range from protection of seaborne logistics to maritime defense of expeditionary basing.
• At the most basic level, this is the Navy鈥檚 primary contribution as a joint force enabler.

While we await confirmation of the overarching topic, registration is open to allow guests to meet end of fiscal year travel deadlines - if you think you'd like to join us in September!

PROJECT OVERVIEW: With one overarching design challenge, eight teams of junior officers and early career engineers will be facilitated through a rapid concept generation process using tools of human-centered design. Each team will present their best concepts on the final morning of the workshop, and these seeds of ideas will inform class projects, thesis work, and research across the 51福利 campus throughout FY25.

Please indicate your interest area when you register.
