Precision Navigation and Timekeeping Research Concentration Areas Precision navigation and timekeeping are essential for modern naval systems. The program is investigating: GPS anti-jam: The global positioning system is the primary source of time and position for many civilian and military systems. Continued use of GPS in challenged environments is key to naval and DoD operations.
ONR is developing innovative techniques and technologies that improve our current capability to acquire and utilize GPS in the presence of jamming. Precision time and time transfer: Applications including geolocation, communication and distributed sensing all depend on the ability to faithfully exchange and maintain precise timing information.
ONR is developing precise, compact clocks as well as time transfer methods for both RF and optical links to meet the timing needs of current and future naval systems. Non-GPS navigation: When GPS is not available, DOD systems must be capable of precise navigation. Many non-GPS navigation modalities exist including other RF systems, celestial and geophysical referencing, and inertial navigation.
ONR is developing new sensors and sensor fusion approaches with the aim of creating cost-efficient navigation solutions with mission-driven performance.
Research Challenges and Opportunities High accuracy, high availability position fix approaches for surface, subsurface and air platforms Robust inertial measurement unit (IMU) with ultra-low bias and scale factor drift in maritime-relevant footprint Compact, deployable atomic clock with ~ns @ 1-day holdover For detailed application and submission information for this research topic, please refer to our broad agency announcement (BAA) No. N0001425SB001 .

NOFO N0001426SF004 offers roughly 25 awards at $750,000 over 36 months to first- and second-appointment faculty. No cost share, no white paper stage — and an eligibility clock that admits PhDs earned on or after January 1, 2019 and nobody earlier. The program officer conversation, not the proposal, is the part most applicants get wrong.
Read articleThe Department of the Navy pre-released FY26 Release 3 SBIR/STTR on June 3, 2026 — 12 BAA topics and one Commercial Solutions Opening for Counter-Unmanned Air Systems. Topics span adaptive sensor management, anomalous behavior detection, satellite imagery optimization, real-time zero-trust data for combat systems, and gun weapon systems modernization. Technical questions cut off June 23. Proposals open June 24 and close July 22. NAVAIR and NAVSEA co-host a Counter-UAS webinar June 16. Phase I funding tops out at $315,000. The CSO open topic for AI-powered drone defense is the structural news: it's the first time NAVAIR has used a CSO vehicle to fund counter-drone work outside the conventional Phase I/II structure, and it changes how small businesses can engage with the Navy's most urgent capability gap.
