The Undersea Warfare (USW) Curriculum educates Naval officers and laboratory researchers in the engineering fundamentals, physical principles and analytical concepts that govern operational employment of undersea warfare sensors and weapons systems.
The USW program is interdisciplinary and integrates many subjects: acoustics, electrical engineering, mathematics, meteorology, oceanography, physics, operations analysis, human factors, computer science, and robotics.
USW students earn accredited master's degrees in any one of the following five disciplines:
- Engineering Acoustics with emphasis on shallow-water acoustics, impact of littoral variability on sonar performance, acoustic communications and underwater weapons,
- Physical Oceanography with emphasis on the prediction of the littoral battlespace environment, ocean acoustics and environmental effects on sonar performance,
- Electrical Engineering with emphasis on signal processing,
- Operations Research with emphasis on tactical applications and decision analysis, or
- Applied Science specializing in technical focus areas such as Mine Warfare or Unmanned Systems.
