New Scientific Training for Sonar Experts
Six acousticians and sonar experts will gather in Newport, Rhode Island on June 1-4, 2009, to teach an innovative new course, Advanced Topics in Underwater Acoustics. This fourday course summarizes some of the "leading-edge" topics in underwater acoustics, providing an in-depth treatment of current topics of interest. Focus areas are sound propagation in deep and shallow water, ambient noise, sonar arrays, sonar signal processing, active sonar technology, and marine mammals mitigation. The instructors include Dr. William Carey, Dr. Allan Pierce, Dr. Richard Evans, Dr Edmund Sullivan, Dr. Bill Ellison and Dr. Peter G. Cable. Dr. William Carey and Dr. Allan D. Pierce are both Professors and Editors. Dr. Evans is an applied mathematician well known for his expertise in computational acoustics. Dr. Edmund J. Sullivan, formerly from the Naval Undersea Warfare Center and the SACLANT Undersea Research Centre, specializes in Sonar Signal Processing. Dr. Peter Cable, formerly from the Naval Undersea Warfare Center and BBN Technologies, specializes in sonar signal processing and sonar system studies. Dr. William Ellison, President and Chief Scientist of Marine Acoustics Inc., is an expert in ASW performance analysis, computational performance prediction tools, ASW and the effects of sound on marine wildlife. The course will at the Marriott Residence Inn Newport Middletown, Rhode Island. The location is close to one of the Navy's leading research centers, the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in Newport, RI, so that NUWC employees can take advantage of the training, while minimizing travel costs.

New Forward Looking Sonar Simulator
BlueView Technologies teamed with Marine Simulation to develop a sonar simulator based on BlueView's line of forward looking multibeam imaging sonars. The new computer based simulator is designed to be used with ROVsim Pro, Marine Simulation's flagship undersea ROV simulator and will be offered as an optional module later this quarter.
ROV pilots can now quickly learn how to navigate in low visibility conditions using the sonar's real-time feedback. Implementing the very latest in 3D graphics and physics simulation technologies, the ROVsim Pro system is designed from the ground up to assist institutions meet the growing demand for professionally trained ROV pilots and operators. ROVsim Pro can be delivered in a wide variety of configurations and later be upgraded as future needs require. By modularizing the design and separating the program into distinct applications communicating over a simple network, ROVsim Pro can be used in virtually any training environment. ROVsim simulators are currently being used by ROV operators, universities and training centers in 11 countries worldwide.
