The book "Neural network technologies in intelligent systems of detection and operational identification of marine targets" by B. A. Pyatakovic is a fascinating and deep dive into the world of modern technologies that change approaches to the detection and identification of objects at sea. This publication will be of particular interest to those involved in maritime security, military technology, and research in artificial intelligence and neural networks. In his work, Pyatakovic explores how neural network technologies can be integrated into intelligent systems designed to detect and identify marine targets. The author shares his knowledge and experience, explaining how these technologies can improve the efficiency of monitoring and control systems at sea. The book covers a wide range of topics, including machine learning algorithms, signal processing, and big data analysis techniques, making it relevant to information technology, marine engineering, and security professionals. Who is this book for? First of all, it is addressed to students and graduate students of technical universities, as well as professionals working in the field of development and implementation of intelligent systems . Engineers, researchers and analysts interested in applying neural network technologies will find in it many useful ideas and practical recommendations. The book will also be of interest to military specialists and maritime service workers who seek to improve their skills and knowledge in the field of modern technologies. The topics raised in the book are very diverse and relevant. Pyatakovic not only examines the theoretical aspects of neural network technologies, but also focuses on their practical application. He discusses exactly how these technologies can be used to improve maritime safety, which is especially important in the face of modern threats. The book also addresses issues of ethics and responsibility related to the use of artificial intelligence for military and civilian purposes. The author's style is distinguished by clarity and accessibility, which makes complex technical concepts understandable even for readers who do not have deep knowledge in the field of neural networks. Pyatakovic uses many examples and illustrations, which helps to better assimilate the material and see its practical application. His previous works, such as “Artificial Intelligence in Modern Systems” and “Real-Time Data Processing”, have already established themselves as valuable sources of information for professionals in this field. The book "Neural Network Technologies in Intelligent Systems for the Detection and Operational Identification of Marine Targets" is not just a training manual, but a real find for anyone interested in the intersection of technology and maritime security. It opens new horizons in understanding how artificial intelligence can change approaches to solving complex problems facing modern society. Readers interested in topics such as “artificial intelligence at sea”, “neural networks in safety” or “intelligent monitoring systems” will find in this book many useful ideas and inspirations for their work. Thus, this book is a must-read for anyone who wants to be at the forefront of technology and understand how neural network solutions can change our world, especially in the context of maritime safety and operations.
