Knowledge Areas

OnBoard Knowledge Journal is a scientific journal edited and funded as part of a commitment to advancing knowledge in the field of Engineering and Technology. Founded in 2025, this publication aims to establish itself as a leading academic platform for researchers, professionals, and students dedicated to technological innovation and its applications. Its mission is to serve as a bridge for the dissemination of high-quality research addressing contemporary technological challenges, fostering scientific dialogue, and contributing to the global development of knowledge.

OnBoard Knowledge Journal defines its area of interest in alignment with the guidelines of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the Naval Training, Instruction, and Education Headquarters (JINEN), through the National Navy Education System (SEAN). The field of Engineering and Technology is the fundamental axis of the journal and is intrinsically linked to the four R&D&I programs of the Armada Nacional de Colombia.

  1. Strengthening Naval Power: This area focuses on advances in Engineering and Technology applied to the modernization of naval capabilities, development of defense, navigation, and communication systems, as well as research in materials and emerging technologies that enhance operational effectiveness at sea.
  2. Strategy, Institutional Management, and Logistic Processes: This program encompasses technological solutions aimed at improving decision-making, optimizing operational processes, strengthening logistics, and supporting institutional management through engineering-driven innovation.
  3. Development of Maritime and Riverine Interests: This area promotes research in Engineering and Technology related to the sustainable use of aquatic resources, environmental monitoring, maritime and riverine security systems, and technological applications that drive national maritime and riverine development.
  4. Antarctic Agenda: This program encourages research on advanced technologies that enable safe and sustainable operations in extreme conditions, including navigation systems, environmental sensing, infrastructure resilience, and scientific exploration in polar regions.

OnBoard Knowledge Journal aims to promote the development and dissemination of research that responds to the contemporary technological challenges of the Armada Nacional de Colombia, contributing to innovation, operational strengthening, and the advancement of engineering solutions aligned with international standards.
