Excitement and Despair – ATI Courses

In the past week, we have seen both extremes in Space Exploration; we have seen a failed moon landing by Russia, and a successful moon landing by India.  Both countries had very sophisticated spacecraft, but the Space Environment can be very hostile and unforgiving.  To learn more about how adverse interactions between the space environment and a spacecraft may lead to a degradation of spacecraft subsystem performance and possibly even loss of the spacecraft itself, consider enrolling in the upcoming 2-day ATI course Space Environment: Implications for Spacecraft Design.  You can learn more about the course, and register for it here.

Tracking Contacts with Sonar, TMA – ATI Courses

If you are a submarine sonarman, or if you are an engineer developing tools for use by sonarmen, then Sonar and Target Motion Analysis Fundamentals is the course for you!  This course will teach you algorithms and methods used to develop a contact track using only a time history of direction to the contact; this is the only information that a sonarman will have when called upon to report the location and track of a contact of concern.  Please consider joining us for this class.  You can learn more about the class, and register for it here.

The Difference Between Oppenheimer’s Bomb and Today’s Nuclear Weapons – ATI Courses

The Atomic Bomb that ended the World War 2 in 1945 was built to be detonated.  Nuclear weapons that have been built since World War 2 were not built to be detonated; they were built in hope that they would be used to ensure they would never need to be detonated in anger.  The current nuclear arsenal was built, and continues to be deployed and tested, for Strategic Deterrence.  If you’d like to learn more about this subject, consider taking the upcoming new ATI course, Nuclear Weapons and Strategic Deterrence.
