Navy Research Section

It has been estimated that the research and development programs of the Department of Defense produce over 100,000 scientific and technical reports each year. The dissemination of this information has been handled by two separate agencies, the Central Air Documents Office (CADO) at Dayton, Ohio, and the Technical Information Division (TID) of the Library of Congress, formerly called the Navy Research Section.

The U.S. Biological Warfare Committee, with Mr. Merck as chairman, came into being in October 1944, as a supervisory body to make recommendations to the Secretary of War and Chief of Staff on policy and to establish liaison with its British counterpart, the London Inter-Service Sub-Committee on Biological Warfare (ISSCBW). Members of the new committee included the Chief, Chemical Warfare Service the director of the New Developments Division, WDSS the director of the Office of Strategic Services the chief of the Navy Bureau of Ordnance the Surgeon Generals of the Army and Navy the chief of the Military Intelligence Service the Chief of Staff, ASF the chief of the Requirements Section, AGF the assistant chief of Air Staff Plans the British Army Staff representatives the director of Canada s Department of Chemical Warfare and Smoke and the CWS representative on the ISSCBW.

This section summarizes polymer science and engineering research in progress at the NRL Chemistry Division and is based on the panel s on-site interactions with NRL researchers. Polymer research and development at NRL is involved with the synthesis, design, characterization, and improvement of novel polymer systems of interest to the Navy. Further understanding, prediction, and control of the behavior of these polymer systems in particular hostile environments such as seawater, on the one hand, and high temperatures in various propulsion systems or during fires, on the other hand, have been of particular importance. Research on potential innovative analytical test methods, especially nondestructive ones, has also been of interest.
