4. Short Course Outcomes
• [LO1] define Electronic Warfare, examine the concept of the Command and
Control structure and demonstrate understanding of Strategic and Tactical Threat;
• [LO2] demonstrate understanding of the dimensions of warfare and the
Electromagnetic Spectrum;
• [LO3] define Anti Submarine Warfare and recount the different methods of
exploiting the Underwater Environment;
• [LO4] describe the properties of Active Sonar and demonstrate how these
properties could be used to classify a Sonar system;
• [LO5] describe the properties of Passive Sonar and demonstrate understanding
of the effects of ambient noise;
• [LO6] compare the differences between employment of Active and Passive
Sonar, describe occasions for use of each type of Sonar and consider Wideband,
Broadband and Narrowband theory;
• [LO7] describe each of the five key elements to be considered when making
Threat Assessments;
• [LO8] in Passive Sonar, demonstrate understanding of Demodulated Noise
(DEMON) and Low Frequency Analysis and Ranging (LOFAR) analysis
techniques to enable classification and determine speed of a vessel;
5. Learning, Teaching and Assessment Strategies
5.1 Learning and Teaching Strategy
The module will be delivered using a combination of lectures, workshops, and teacher
led assignments and demonstrations as a means of developing the required knowledge.
Deeper understanding and skill development will be facilitated through workshops and a
coursework project. Students will be required to undertake and submit developmental
assignments to demonstrate their perception of the Learning Outcomes.
5.2 Assessment Strategy
The assessment strategy adopts the use of both practical based assessments, in-class
tests and a written assessment.
