General information

This established two-day sonar training course is particularly suitable for engineers and managers who have recently entered the sonar field and who need to gain a working knowledge of the terminology and concepts of sonar. The sonar course aims to provide you with a good understanding of the theory and practice of sonar technology, and its applications in the defence industry, environmental surveying and related fields; placing emphasis on the practicalities of sonar systems rather than on rigorous mathematical analysis. 

This course is ideal if you require a rapid introduction to 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
