Bevilacqua REMOTE SENSING PHYSICS BRANCH RADIO/IR/OPTICAL SENSORS BRANCH 7210 COASTAL AND OCEAN REMOTE SENSING BRANCH 7220 IMAGE SCIENCE AND APPLICATIONS BRANCH 7260 7230 Basic Responsibilities The Remote Sensing Division is the Navy’s center of excellence for remote sensing research and development, conducting a program of basic research, science, and applications aimed at the development of new concepts for sensors and imaging systems for objects and targets on the Earth, in the near-Earth environment, and in deep space. The research, both theoretical and experimental, deals with discovering and understanding the basic physical principles and mechanisms that give rise to target and background emission and to absorption and emission by the intervening medium. The accomplishment of this research requires the development of sensor systems technology. This development effort includes active and passive sensor systems to be used for the study and analysis of the physical characteristics of phenomena that give rise to naturally occurring background radiation, such as that caused by the Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, as well as manmade or induced phenomena, such as ship/submarine hydrodynamic effects. The research also includes theory, laboratory, and field experiments leading to ground-based, airborne, and space-based systems for use in such areas as environmental remote sensing (including improved meteorological support systems for the operational Navy), astrometry, astrophysics, surveillance, and nonacoustic ASW. Special emphasis is given to developing space-based platforms and exploiting existing space systems.

The figures for calendar years 2012 and 2013 presented below represent the output of NRL facilities in Washington, DC; Bay St. Louis, Mississippi; and Monterey, California. In 1986, Congress enacted the Federal Technology Transfer Act in an effort to encourage the commercial use of technology developed in Federal laboratories. The Act allows Government inventors and the laboratories where they work to share the royalties generated by commercial licensing of their inventions. Also, the Act encourages the establishment of Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) between laboratories such as NRL and non-Federal entities such as state and local governments, universities, and business corporations. Such cooperative R&D agreements can include the allocation in advance of patent rights on any inventions made under the joint research effort. The 1986 Act has given additional impetus to the Laboratory’s efforts to patent important inventions arising out of its various research programs.

Along with enhancing the Laboratory’s research, these programs acquaint participants with Navy capabilities and concerns and may provide a path to full-time employment. Postdoctoral Research Associateships Every year, NRL hosts several postdoctoral research associates through the National Research Council (NRC) and American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) postdoctoral associateship and fellowship programs. These competitive positions provide postdoctoral scientists and engineers the opportunity to pursue research at NRL in collaboration with NRL scientists and engineers. Research associates are guest investigators, not employees of NRL. NRL/NRC Cooperative Research Associateship Program: The National Research Council conducts a national competition to recommend and make awards to outstanding scientists and engineers at recent postdoctoral levels for tenure as guest researchers at participating laboratories. The objectives of the NRC program are (1) to provide postdoctoral scientists and engineers of unusual promise and ability opportunities for research on problems, largely of their own choice, that are compatible with the interests of the sponsoring laboratories and (2) to contribute thereby to the overall efforts of the Federal laboratories. The program provides an opportunity for concentrated research in association with selected members of the permanent professional laboratory staff, often as a climax to formal career preparation. NRL/NRC Postdoctoral Associateships are awarded to persons who have held a doctorate less than five years at the time of application and are made initially for one year, renewable for a second and possible third year. Information and applications may be found at http://www. national-academies.org/rap. To contact NRL’s program coordinator, call (202) 404-7450 or email nrc@hro.nrl. navy.mil. NRL/ASEE Postdoctoral Fellowship Program: The ASEE program is designed to significantly increase the involvement of creative and highly trained scientists and engineers from academia and industry in scientific and technical areas of interest and relevance to the Navy. Fellowship awards are based upon the technical quality and relevance of the proposed research, recommendations by the Navy laboratory, academic qualifications, reference reports, and availability of funds. NRL/ASEE Fellowship awards are made to persons who have held a doctorate for less than seven years at the time of application and are made for one year, renewable for a second and possible third year. Information and applications may be found at http://www.asee.org/nrl/. To contact NRL’s program coordinator, call (202) 404-7450 or email asee@hro.nrl.navy.mil.
