Magnetic, gravity and depth surveys in the Mediterranean and Red Sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1965/04)This report is a copy of a paper published in Nature, Vol. 204, 4965, 1964: 1245-1248 by T.D. Allan of this Centre, H. Charnock of this Centre at the time of the surveys but now of the National Institute of Oceanography, ... -
MAKE-MAP and MEDMAP: two programs for plotting maps of the Mediterranean Sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1988/06)Two FORTRAN programs MAKE_MAP and MEDMAP are described which, when used together, will plot maps of all or any portion of the Mediterranean Sea. Examples are given which show the high degree of detail provided by the 2' ... -

Mapping ocean sediments by RBF networks
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1992/09)Interpolation of sparse measurements of ocean-sediment properties by generalized radial basis function (RBF) networks is proposed. An RBF -
Maritime anomaly detection based on mean-reverting stochastic processes applied to a real-world scenario
(CMRE, 2019/05)A novel anomaly detection procedure based on the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck (OU) mean-reverting stochastic process is presented. The considered anomaly is a vessel that deviates from a planned route, changing its nominal velocity ... -

Maritime situational awareness use cases enabled by space-borne sensors
(CMRE, 2019/06)This paper discusses a technique for predicting a vessel?s position over a long time horizon with much lower uncertainty than current methods. Lowering the uncertainty of long-range prediction is a key challenge in maritime ... -
Maritime surveillance using multiple high-frequency surface-wave radars
(CMRE, 2014/05)In the last decades, great interest has been directed toward low-power high-frequency (HF) surface-wave radars as long-range early warning tools in maritime-situational-awareness applications. These sensors, developed for ... -
Maritime surveillance with multiple over-the-horizon HFSW radars: an overview of recent experimentation
(CMRE, 2019/06)This paper briefly explores the high-frequency surface-wave (HFSW) radar technology in general, and Wellen radar (WERA) in more detail. Then it describes the multitarget tracking data fusion (MTTDF) network architecture ... -
A market-based task allocation framework for autonomous underwater surveillance networks
(CMRE, 2019/06)Realisation of underwater robotic surveillance networks raises several challenges for marine robotics. The underwater scenario is typically characterised by intermittent and unreliable communication. This makes it challenging ... -
Martinus - multiprocessor for high capacity real-time processing
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)Development of circuit technology in recent years now makes it feasible to build powerful processing machines at quite considerable savings - in comparison to those which have been considered feasible earlier. These savings ... -

Measurement and interpretation of angular spreading from multiple boundary interactions in a shallow water channel
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)The problem of angular spreading of sound that has undergone multiple boundary scattering (both sea surface and sea bed) in a shallow water channel is discussed. Measurements made of the horizontal spatial coherence along ... -
Measurement of the bubble population in coastal waters using combination frequencies of MHz order
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)This paper describes the use of a combinatron frequency technique to measure the size distribution of oceanic bubbles. Written between two sea trials, the paper describes how the apparatus cart be adapted to design tests ... -
Measurements and modelling of high-frequency acoustic scattering by a rough seafloor and sea surface
(NURC, 2009/12)Acoustic scattering by a rough, possibly dynamic interface is experimentally studied by insonifying the seabed and the sea surface at high frequency at various incidentangles. A directional source working at 300 kHz was ... -
Measurements and predictions of transmission loss at two sites in the Southwest Approaches to the English Channel
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1995/12)As part of a continuing series of measurements being made by -
Measurements for satellite validation made from the RV Alliance during October and November 1991
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)Measurements of sea-surface temperature, surface meteorology and atmospheric profiles were taken from the RV Alliance between 1 October -
Measurements of acoustic scattering from partially and completely buried spherical shells
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1999/04)Recent work at NATO SACLANT Undersea Research Centre has concentrated on investigating the use of low frequency sonars (2-20 kHz) in order to better exploit scattering features of buried targets that can contribute to their ... -
Measurements of correlation loss and time-spreading in linear FM sweeps and pseudo-random noise signals transmitted over long ranges in shallow water
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/12)The results of some transmission measurements made in shallow water are described. The ranges were about 15 km, 20 km, and 34 km, and the sound source was either suspended about 10 m above the bottom or was on the bottom ... -
Measurements of normal-mode amplitude functions in a nearly-stratified medium
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)In normal-mode treatments of acoustic propagation in nearly-stratified media, calculations are frequently based on the perfectly-stratified medium model, in which symmetry permits separation of the wave equationo In these ...
