General information
This three-day sonar training course is intended as a follow-on to the Introduction to Sonar course, enabling you to progress from an introductory level through to advanced topics within one week. The sonar course aims to provide an in-depth understanding of underwater acoustic principles, sonar technology and applications, underpinned by the physical principles and analysis.
The course is suitable for if you require a rapid introduction to advanced sonar technology, its specification and applications, particularly:
- Hardware and software design engineers new to sonar system design.
- Naval personnel involved in sonar commissioning or its application.
- Procurement/purchasing managers requiring to prepare tenders or specifications
- Design Managers
- Project Managers
- Installation and Maintenance Engineers
- Sales Engineers
Course Content
- Acoustic Wave Theory
- Transducer Technology/Array Performance
- Signal Processing and Displays
