More than 100 Undersea Technology Innovation Consortium (UTIC) member company employees recently completed a successful sonar training course through a partnership with the University of Rhode Island (URI) and RTX. The partnership, aimed at strengthening the defense technology workforce, allowed UTIC members to take the Principles of Sonar, Underwater Sound, and Undersea Systems Course on a non-credit basis during the Spring 2026 semester. URI graduate students also completed the course for credit. The course was offered virtually and in person.
