The essential textbook for all marine engineers and ETO officers, covering advanced electrotechnology theory.Designed as a companion to Reeds vol 6: Basic Electrotechnology for Marine Engineers, this indispensable textbook goes beyond the scope of the earlier book to cover more advanced aspects of theory.This comprehensive coverage of more advanced topics makes this an essential book for professional trainees studying for merchant navy marine engineering Certificates of Competency (CoC). It also covers the electrotechnology syllabi for undergraduate and postgraduate students pursuing degrees in marine and electrical engineering.This edition has been revised, updated and expanded to remain current, with new additions on control systems, machine learning and AI, plus advances in semiconductors and microelectronics.It includes sample exam questions with worked examples to help improve assessment outcomes.

First book to give an insight into a growing area of interest - stealth warship technology - which is crucial for future developments in warship construction. It demonstrates the importance of materials used in warship construction and how this influences all of a naval platform's design parameters.Stealth technology is now considered a critical component within warship design, with interest in the concept of stealth increasing around the globe as naval forces adapt to new challenges. Many new developing nations are now implementing their first generation of stealth technology military hardware. This exciting book explores the full extent of threats to warships and thus the transformational change in naval architecture to incorporate these modern stealth technologies.Discussing the history of stealth technology, with references to well-known aircraft, ships and events in military history, the book also provides readers with a unique opportunity to develop an understanding of the specialist skills required in this naval sector. This is an essential read for anyone interested in stealth design and the issues involved in this evolving technology.

This book is a companion to Reeds Vol. 6: Basic Electrotechnology for Marine Engineers and covers aspects of theory beyond the scope of Volume 6. The book will cover the more advanced topics in electrotechnology for professional trainees studying Merchant Navy Marine Engineering Certificates of Competency (CoC) as well as the syllabi in electrotechnology for undergraduates studying for BSc, BEng and MEng degrees in marine engineering and electrical engineering.The new edition will provide worked examples and test exam questions, corresponding to current Merchant Navy Qualifications. Other revisions will include new material on emerging technology areas such as image intensifiers (photoelectric effect, secondary emission), thermal imaging cameras, radar, increased maritime use of LEDs, various semiconductor physics devices including the laser, as well as discussions of binary or digital theory.
