The Naval Consulting Board, also known as the Naval Advisory Board (a name used in the 1880s for two previous committees),[1]
was a US Navy organization established in 1915 by Josephus Daniels, the Secretary of the Navy at the suggestion of Thomas Alva Edison.[2]
Daniels created the Board with membership drawn from eleven engineering and scientific organizations two years before the United States entered World War I to provide the country with the "machinery and facilities for utilizing the natural inventive genius of Americans to meet the new conditions of warfare."[3]
Daniels was concerned that the U.S. was unprepared for the new conditions of warfare and that they needed access to the newest technology.[4]
