The Naval Research Advisory Committee (NRAC) was a civilian advisory committee to the United States Navy from 1946 to 2019. Its stated mission was "To know the problems of the Navy and Marine Corps, keep abreast of the current research and development programs, and provide an independent, objective assessment capability through investigative studies".
One source stated that the NRAC was named after its predecessor and alternately called the National Research Defense Committee of the Office of Scientific Research and Development.
