Course Content
Role in Providing Military Capability
An understanding of why submarines are
a critical component in providing military
capability in the modern environment.
Submarine Operations
To enable an understanding of the full
range of roles performed by a submarine
and the implications for submariners
operating onboard.
Submarine Program
To provide an understanding of the planning
and implementation process for a new
submarine build, focusing on the roles of
Government, Navy and Industry.
The Modern Conventional Submarine
To provide details on the evolution of the
modern conventional submarine and
the major sections and components it is
comprised of.
Form Factors & Hull Configurations
To give an appreciation of the external forms
used in the design of submarines and the
associated benefits and disadvantages.
Safety Management
To provide a generic understanding
of safety programs and safety
management systems as applied to
major Defence projects.
Signature Management
The first of two sessions developing an
understanding of signature management
on a modern submarine.
Sonars
To enable a technical understanding of
sonar technology, such as arrays and
sensors, through to operational aspects
such as functional processing.
Weapons & Sensors
To enable a technical and operational
understanding of the full range of
weapons and sensors available to a
modern conventional submarine.
Combat Systems
To enable a technical and operational
understanding of combat systems,
including primary functions such as
detection and classification, and
secondary roles including navigation
and communications.
Space & Weight Relationship
To understand the major components
and materials driving a submarine design
and the practicalities of growth margins.
Resistance & Propulsion
To provide a technical introduction to the
components of resistance and the effects
of submarine form and appendages.
BMT is a truly independent engineering and project management consultancy with proven
experience in the defence, maritime and transport industries.
Providing confidence from the early stages of concept through to in-service support and disposal,
we deliver innovative solutions to the most complex platform and system issues.
Manoeuvring
To provide a technical introduction on
the generation of forces and moments
using control surfaces, that enables
the submarine to manoeuvre.
Submarine Escape
& Rescue Systems
To develop an understanding of the
rescue systems carried onboard a
submarine and those that can be
deployed to a disabled vessel.
Ballast Systems
To provide an understanding of the
ballast tanks, associated systems and
their operation on a modern submarine.
Structures
To enable an understanding of
submarine internal structures and
manufacturing techniques.
Propulsors
To develop an appreciation of
propulsors available to a submarine
designer and associated issues such
as cavitation.
Naval domain experts from around the globe will share their
extensive knowledge to improve your skills base.
Energy Generation Plant
To develop an understanding of the energy
generation plant options for a conventional
submarine from the diesel engine through
to developing air independent technologies.
AIP Systems
To enable an understanding of AIP systems,
their current implementation and potential
for use in Australia’s Future Submarine.
Battery Systems
To enable a technical understanding of
current lead-acid systems and demonstrate
a comparison with developing technologies.
Distributed Systems
To provide an understanding of systems
such as hydraulics, fire suppression and
HP/LP air on a modern submarine.
Electric Systems
To provide an understanding of the electric
system necessary to support all power
requirements on a modern submarine.
Hydrostatics
To develop a basic understanding of
submarine hydrostatic principles involved
in stability and control while on the surface
or submerged.
Materials Selection
To enable an appreciation of the importance
of material selection in submarine design
for the operational environment and the
implications of getting it right and wrong.
Habitability Systems
To provide an understanding of systems
such as HVAC, lighting, potable water,
refrigeration and waste disposal on a
modern submarine.
Submarine Concept Evaluation
An overview of how to evaluate submarine
design at the conceptual design phase,
from integrated performance analysis and
data quality through to visualization of
platform performance.
Design Task
A half-day group exercise using BMT’s
bespoke submarine design tool to
apply the knowledge gained by course
participants. The aim is to develop a
series of optimised submarine designs
to meet the requirements of the mission
scenarios provided.
