Energy enables national defense. The study of operational energy in support of naval warfighting is a focus of NPS to ensure combat advantage 24/7 anywhere, anytime.

Energy security is a multidisciplinary problem that requires interdisciplinary solutions. The Energy Academic Group (EAG) at NPS includes defense-expert faculty from across departments as a Navy center of academic excellence for operational energy graduate education, professional certificates, and applied research.

Our efforts focus on solving the Navy, Marine Corps, and Department of Defense's (DoD) most critical energy problems, from seabed to space, and from force endurance to installation resilience, using the basic sciences, innovative engineering, operations and analysis, and business methods.
