    • Multiple view sidescan sonar 

      Stage, Bjarne; Zerr, Benoit (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1995/12)
      The classification of objects on the seafloor by means of a sonar can be

    • Multisensor adaptive Bayesian tracking under time-varying target detection probability 

      Papa, Giuseppe; Braca, Paolo; Horn, Steven A.; Marano, Stefano; Matta, Vincenzo; Willett, Peter K. (CMRE, 2019/06)
      In practical tracking applications, the target detection performance may be unknown and also change rapidly in time. This work considers a network of sensors and develops a target-tracking procedure able to adapt and react ...

    • Multistatic bottom reverberation in shallow water 

      Schmidt, Henrik; Lee, Jaiyong; Fan, Huaiyu; LePage, Kevin D. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)
      A wavenumber integration approach to modeling of the full multistatic reverberant field produced by small-scale bottom roughness in stratified shallow water waveguides has been developed. A perturbation approach to rough ...

    • Multistatic sonar: a road to a maritime network enabled capability 

      Been, Robert; Jespers, Stephane; Coraluppi, Stefano; Carthel, Craig; Strode, Christopher; Vermeij, Arjan (NURC, 2007/10)
      NATO's operational requirements emphasize interoperability of platforms participating in coalition task forces. Intelligently fusing data of multiple sensor systems and the development of adapted tactics are necessary steps ...

    • Mutual coherence and silence 

      Debart, Hubert P. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1985/01)
      In this paper we are developing the theoretical principle of a modification of the acoustical emission by a ship. Its objective is making inefficient the angular measurements achieved by a detector. More precisely, the ...

      This Progress Report describes the Centre’s unclassified technical accomplishments and outputs performed under the 2020 programme of work.

    • NATO Undersea Research Centre human diver and marine mammal risk mitigation rules and procedures 

      NURC. Marine Mammal Risk Mitigation Project. (NURC, 2006/09)
      The NATO Marine Mammal Risk Mitigation project has as its goals the development of risk mitigation protocols, computer tools, and in-water devices to provide risk mitigation before sonar or other noisy experiments and naval ...

    • NATO Undersea Research Centre marine mammal risk mitigation rules and procedures 

      Ryan, Kendra (NURC, 2009/11)
      The NATO Undersea Research Centre (NURC) Marine Mammal Risk Mitigation Rules and Procedures provides the policy and the procedures to scientific planners, Scientists-in-Charge (SIC), researchers and the Masters of NURC ...

    • NATO Undersea Research Centre marine mammal risk mitigation rules and procedures 

      Unknown author (NURC, 2008/12)
      The goals of the NATO Marine Mammal Risk Mitigation include the development of risk mitigation protocols, computer tools, and in-water devices to provide risk mitigation before sonar experiments so to avoid potential ...

    • Near field propeller radiated noise measurements: model and full scale experimental data comparison 

      Accardo, Lucio; Colombo, Agostino (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1985/01)
      The ever rising interest related to the underwater no1se originating from cavitating propellers prompted the Italian Navy to study this aspect of naval architecture in an experimental way. This was accomplished carrying ...

    • NEMO: An architecture for software communications research in the maritime domain 

      Vermeij, Arjan; Furfaro, Thomas C.; Alves, João (CMRE, 2019/06)
      This paper presents a high-level overview of NEMO, an implementation of a communications research software workspace with special focus on application scenarios involving underwater (e.g. acoustic), and other maritime ...

    • Network-enabled information fusion in support of underwater research 

      Berni, Alessandro; Merani, Diego; Leonard, Michel (NURC, 2007/11)
      Advanced communication and information processing techniques can be applied to underwater research to enable new ways of enhancing real-time experimental outcome. This paper is concerned with three main areas where ...

    • New mechanical equipment for handling oceanographic cables 

      Frassetto, Roberto; Manzotti, Vittorio; Chiarabini, Anselmo (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1964/04)
      The four pieces of equipment described in this report have been designed to facilitate the handling of oceanographic cables by replacing the heavy, and often expensive, equipment at present in use, with lighter, less ...

    • The new muesli complexity metric for mine-hunting difficulty in sonar images 

      Williams, David P. (CMRE, 2019/05)
      A new image complexity metric has been developed that fuses the concept of lacunarity, a measure of pixel intensity variation, with the notion of spatial information, a quantity that captures edge energy. This new metric, ...
