The objective of this module is to provide students with an understanding of the basic principles of radar, sonar, magnetic and infrared measurement systems, and how they interact with ships, especially in relation to the acoustic emission and electromagnetic response.
The student will possess the ability to understand an evaluation of the underwater noise, radar response, infrared emission and magnetic signature and of a ship, and to reason about the causes that govern them.
The module aims to provide students with a general understanding of the concepts of underwater noise, infrared emission, radar response and magnetic signature of a ship and the mechanisms that govern them. Upon completion of the module, the student will be able to:
No additional knowledge and skills are required beyond those of students admitted to the Master of Science in Naval Engineering.
Classroom lectures and of case studies' description, often with the support of slides provided to students in advance, as well as visits to department laboratories and seminars by industrial experts. Attendance at all these activities is recommended.

Oral test on the topics covered in the classroom lectures, laboratory and any industrial seminars. Students with specific learning disorders will be allowed to adopt specific modalities and supports that will be determined on a case-by-case basis, in agreement with the Engineering Course Delegate in the Commission for the Inclusion of Students with Disabilities.
The oral test will assess the ability to describe the principles governing acoustic and electromagnetic wave fields, the different signatures of the ship, and the operation of radar and sonar systems, discussing the relative importance of the various sources in relation to the ship. It will also assess the technical language and the ability to analyze simple practical problems, reasoning with autonomy and rigour.
