Training Services
Introduction
Acoustic Force provides a range of acoustic warfare training services to military, defence civilian and defence industry personnel.
Advantage Through Knowledge
Global competition and improving trade relationships amongst governments, coupled with the fact that few countries have the capacity to underwrite the risk and expense associated with nationally specific defence projects, has resulted in modern military forces being able to procure similar technologies and equipment sets.
This means that the edge necessary to fight and win in warfare is increasingly embedded in the way in which a nation’s force structure is optimised for strategic and tactical circumstances, along with the way in which it is organised and commanded to achieve desired effects. A further discriminator is the employment of the right doctrine and tactics by confident and well trained personnel.
ACOUSTIC FORCE recognises that in order to excel in any aspect of warfare, including acoustic warfare, theory and understanding of the topic are essential to the development and execution of doctrine, tactics and operational procedures and is also required to enable improvisation in situations where adaptation is essential for mission success. The company specialises in the provision of high end and cost effective acoustic warfare training. ACOUSTIC FORCE provides its customers with advantage though knowledge.
Introducing Sonar Employment Training
Sonar employment training is very different to sonar operator training.
Sonar operator training tends to provide users with an overview of a sonar's capabilities and limitations, a description of the operator interface, a description of what each button does and the sequences of buttons changes that are required to perform particular functions.
Employment training provides understanding of how sonar really works and how to use the sonar in the context of:
- Other Below Water Sensors
- Above Water Sensors
- Combat System and Weapon Systems
- The Submarine Platform
- The Current Environment
- Surrounding Contacts and Targets
- The Mission

Tailored Training
The training offered is unclassified due to the generic and open source nature of the courseware. However, it is possible to tailor the training to the needs of specific submarines/ship/aircraft and their sonar systems (the result of which would would most likely be a classified nationalised version of the training).
Acoustic Warfare Overview Training
Acoustic Warfare Overview Training provides
an overview of acoustic warfare and sonar employment and is intended
for defence and industry professionals including:
- Defence Civilians
- Project Managers and Project Personnel
- Engineers
