Introduction of the Course

Netskill’s Passive Acoustic Sensing Systems Engineering Training focuses on the principles, design, and operational aspects of passive acoustic systems used in defense, surveillance, underwater monitoring, environmental sensing, and intelligence applications. As a specialized corporate passive acoustic sensing training company, Netskill enables engineering and R&D teams to understand how acoustic signals are detected, processed, and interpreted without active transmission.

This course covers acoustic propagation, sensor and array design, signal detection, noise characterization, beamforming, localization, tracking, and system performance evaluation. Delivered through Instructor-Led Online Training, In-Person Corporate Workshops, and Self-Paced learning on the Netskill LMS, learners receive HD course videos, conceptual simulations, gamified learning outcomes, quizzes, assessments, and certification, accessible anytime.
