Peter Squire is a program officer in the [Office of Naval Research](/organizations/office-of-naval-research/) (ONR)'s Expeditionary Maneuver Warfare and Combating Terrorism department. In 2014, ONR embarked on a four-year, $3.85 million research program to explore the phenomena it calls Premonition and Intuition, or "Spidey sense," for sailors and Marines[^1].

Squire stated, "We have to understand what gives rise to this so-called ‘sixth sense,'" emphasizing that Navy scientists place less emphasis on trying to understand the phenomena theoretically and more on using technology to examine the mysterious process. The [Pentagon](/organizations/pentagon/)'s focus is to maximize the power of the sixth sense for operational use[^1].
