Submarines & Their

Combat Systems

This course underwent major revi- sion with updated data in July 2004.

It was then formatted as an animated, full-color Power-Point Presentation.

This course presents the fundamental philosophy of submarine design, con- struction, and stability as well as the utilization of submarines as cost- effective warships at sea. A thumbnail history of waging war by coming up from below the surface of the sea relates prior gains-and, prior set- backs. http://www.aticourses.com/sub- marines_and_combat_systems.htm

Sonar Signal Processing

This intensive short course provides an overview of sonar signal process- ing. Processing techniques applicable to bottom-mounted, hull-mounted, towed and sonobuoy systems will be discussed. Spectrum analysis, detec- tion, classification, and tracking algo- rithms for passive and active systems will be examined and related to design factors. The impact of the ocean environment on signal process- ing performance will be highlighted.

Advanced techniques such as high- resolution array-processing and matched field array processing, advanced signal processing tech- niques, and sonar automation will be covered. http://www.aticourses.com/sonar_sig- nal_processing.htm

New Date for Ocean Tech Expo 2007

Organizers of the inaugural Ocean Tech Expo (OTE) announced that a new date has been set. The new date is September 5-7, 2007. This change was made to ensure maximum attendance and participation at OTE. "Feedback to the new date was tremendous at UI last week and everyone is looking forward to starting the "show season" in New England this year", said Rob

Howard, Show Director. Mark your calendars now to attend the premier international exposition and training event in North America targeting ocean science and technology; marine environmental engineers; govern- ment agencies and commercial interests at the

Providence Convention Center located in the heart of

Providence, Rhode Island. Exhibit space is selling briskly. Seminars and training programs are lining up.

The 1st annual OceanTech Expo is a unique, industry- led exposition that will feature new equipment, training and live demonstrations of the most current technology available to the growing ocean technology and marine science industry in North America. OceanTech will bring exhibitors and attendees together in an interactive, "hands-on" environment to share and learn about the most current technology available from this industry.
