    • A review of the application of UUV technology to mine countermeasures 

      Bovio, Edoardo (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1999/03)
      The emphasis on littoral warfare, the proliferation of low cost mines available to potentially hostile countries, high exercise costs and risks related to the operation of present NATO MCM units, require the development ...

    • Accuracy of synthetic aperture sonar micronavigation using a displaced phase centre antenna 

      Pinto, Marc A.; Fioravanti, Stefano; Bovio, Edoardo (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1999/02)
      This work evaluates the accuracy of multi-element synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) micronavigation based on the concept of displaced phase centre antenna (DPCA). The Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) for the joint estimation of ...

    • Autonomous underwater vehicles for port protection 

      Bovio, Edoardo (NURC, 2006/07)
      NATO's present capability to deal with a terrorist threat to our ports is slow, dangerous, and inefficient. Ports are a challenging area within which to conduct MCM operations due to several factors: shipping movements, ...

    • AUV technology for shallow water MCM reconnaissance 

      Evans, Benjamin; Baralli, Francesco; Bellettini, Andrea; Bovio, Edoardo; Coiras, Enrique; Davies, Gary L.; Groen, Johannes; Myers, Vincent; Pinto, Marc A. (NURC, 2007/10)
      The ability to perform MCM reconnaissance missions in shallow water is important in both expeditionary MCM and in the protection of ports against maritime improvised explosive devices (MIEDs). For many years AUV systems ...

    • Generic Oceanographic Array Technologies (GOATS)'98: bi-static seabed scattering measurements using autonomous underwater vehicles 

      Schmidt, Henrik; Maguer, Alain; Bovio, Edoardo; Fox, Warren L. J.; LePage, Kevin D.; Pace, Nicholas G.; Hollett, Reginald D.; Guerrini, Piero; Sletner, Per Arne; Michelozzi, Enzo; Moran, B.; Grieve, R. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/10)
      The GOATS'98 experiment was performed May 5-29, 1998 in shallow water off Marciana Marina, on the island of Elba, Italy. The experiment addressed some of the fundamental issues associated with using the new Autonomous Ocean ...

    • Mechanisms for subcritical penetration into a sandy bottom: experimental and modelling results 

      Maguer, Alain; Bovio, Edoardo; Fox, Warren L. J.; Pouliquen, Eric; Schmidt, Henrik (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/05)
      This paper presents the results of a recent study whose overall objectives are to determine the mechanism(s) contributing to subcritical acoustic penetration into ocean sediments, and to quantify the results for use in ...

    • The application of parametric side scan sonar to the detection of proud and buried targets 

      Bovio, Edoardo; Maguer, Alain; Fioravanti, Stefano (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/01)
      This paper describes an experiment designed to evaluate the feasibility of using the TOPAS parametric transmitter mounted in side scan mode, for the detection of buried targets. The concept was tested with proud targets ...
