Illegal immigration has been a major topic of concern in the last few years in both the United States and the European Union; the policies and practices of border control and the use of detention have often been the center for political debate. Assessing the policies in the United States and the European Union in regards to how 'liberal' each are carried out through practice provides insight to the disparity between policy and practice. The thesis analyzes and compares the discourse used written into the policies, official government guidelines, and reports which focus on the approval and criticism of how the polices are put into practice through the United States and European Union government agencies; whist providing data on recent illegal immigrant trends along the U.S.-Mexican border, as well as the Greek-Turkish border. The results discovered conclude that the European Union writes more 'liberal' discourse into their policy and government guidelines than the United States; the European Union illustrates more concern for fundamental individual rights while carrying out practice along the borders; but is falling short in ensuring that Member States (such as Greece) carry out other policy areas up to European Union standards, in this case the use of detention. The implications of the thesis offer...

The United States Navy has concentrated the majority of its Surface Anti Submarine Warfare (ASW) capability in systems that are designed to exploit the specific acoustic environment of the open ocean. The new priorities are the littoral threat of mined harbors, gulfs, bays, and coastal areas and of coastal patrolling diesel submarines operating in a familiar, although more complex environment. The Naval operational requirements are to exercise control of threat platforms at ranges greater than the threat's weapon range capability and to provide defense against mobile (torpedoes) and immobile (mines) weapons. The United States' continued intervention in small skirmishes around the world requires an active sonar system that can perform the roles of shallow water and small object avoidance. An engineering approach to develop the new sonar system that can meet the defined operational requirements is needed. The system will be the first mission critical combat system built from a majority of COTS components in the USN inventory and will provide small object avoidance and shallow water capabilities to combatants where none previously existed. / Master of Science
