WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), Ranking Member of the Senate Armed Services Seapower Subcommittee, visited Chief of Naval Research Rear Admiral Lorin Selby at the Naval Research Lab (NRL), the corporate research laboratory for the United States Navy and the United States Marine Corps in Washington DC.
“It was great to visit the Naval Research Lab for a first-hand look at the Navy’s emerging capabilities and technologies, and to discuss future research opportunities for North Dakota’s universities,” said Senator Cramer. “Innovative technology is crucial to outpacing competition from our adversaries, and North Dakota is rich with research initiatives involving Unmanned Aerial Systems, advanced material coatings, barnacle research, and cyber knowhow.”
The NRL conducts basic scientific research, applied research, technological development, and prototyping.
