BMT Design & Technology (BMT) recently delivered two Submarine Design & Engineering Courses in Adelaide. 
 
The first course was held at the Maritime Skills Centre and a second course was held privately for the Defence Science Technology Organisation (DSTO). Delegates were presented with a comprehensive breakdown of conventional submarine technology demonstrating how capability requirements and new technologies can impact the overall submarine design. 
 
The course is certified by the Royal Institution of Naval Architects and has received support from the South Australian government which provided subsidies for local delegate. Since its inception in 2009, the Australian course has earned a reputation for providing delegates with practical and current knowledge, and is an important collaboration between BMT, BMT sister companies and other submarine experts from around the world.
 
The network of presenters provides significant professional development opportunities for those working in the submarine industry. This year was the first time leading expert Karl Slater presented his session on Submarine Concept Evaluation, which provided a broad overview of the design requirements and cost drivers needed to enable comparative assessments. 
 
Trevor Dove, course coordinator for Submarine Design & Engineering said "the BMT submarine course continues to grow and evolve. We have now equipped over 200 delegates with the information they need to work effectively in the submarine industry. Most importantly, the opportunity to learn and network with world leading experts is invaluable”.
The next run of the course is scheduled for 14-18 March 2016 and is currently accepting enrolments
