 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Patty Officer Jessica Bidwell. The Navy operates all over the world from the Arabian Sea to the Arctic Ocean. The Arctic can be a dangerous place to operate a ship. However, the people at the Office of Naval Research, or ONR, are developing a program to help ships navigate through the ice. Our overarching goal of the Arctic and Global Prediction program to improve our ability to forecast and predict where the ice is at any moment is very important to the Navy so that if vessels are up there, the captain knows where the ice is and where to avoid, where not to go or where he can go to operate safely and effectively. For more innovative ideas from ONR, you can visit their website or check out hashtag Navy Innovates on Twitter.
