ARLINGTON, Va.— The Office of Naval Research (ONR) has begun a new era, as Rear Adm. Mathias W. Winter—a decorated aviator with advanced degrees in both computer science and national resource strategy—was sworn in as the chief of naval research (CNR).
Winter officially took the helm of ONR, the organization that leads Navy and Marine Corps research efforts, during a change-of-command held on Dec. 30. The ceremony was held at the Pentagon and officiated by the Honorable Sean Stackley, assistant secretary of the Navy (research, development and acquisition).

Winter has served flag tours as the commander, Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division, China Lake/Point Mugu, California, assistant commander for Test and Evaluation, Naval Air Systems Command and PEO for Unmanned Aviation and Strike Weapons. In December 2014, he became the 25th chief of Naval Research with concurrent flag responsibilities as director, Innovation Technology Requirements, and Test & Evaluation.
