The Undersea Technology Innovation Consortium (UTIC) has announced that more than 200 of its members have completed a professional development course on sonar, underwater sounds, and undersea systems.
The course, which was run by UTIC, the University of Rhode Island’s College of Engineering, and Raytheon, aims to help sonar and undersea system engineers and scientists enhance their skills and knowledge to help ensure the successful execution of undersea projects.
The program features high-level lectures from experts in the fields of sonar systems, underwater physics, and propagation theory, as well as practical examples from real-world sonar design projects.
“One of the many benefits of UTIC membership is access to professional development opportunities like this sonar course,” said Molly Donohue Magee, UTIC chief executive officer. “The success of any defense tech business is contingent on the ability of the organization’s leadership and workforce to stay up to date on technological advancements and modern scientific principles.”
“This was an excellent course for technical managers and graduate students seeking a thorough introduction to undersea acoustics,” added Ronald Carvalho Jr., associate director of advanced technology sensors at Raytheon. “Using real-world examples of naval systems, the instructors were able to show immediate relevance of course topics to current design issues faced by naval engineers.”
