    • A parametric synthetic aperure sonar for detection of proud and buried mines 

      Fioravanti, Stefano; Maguer, Alain; Lovik, A. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997/12)
      This paper describes an experimental comparison between a parametric sonar and a conventional sonar for the detection of small objects on and in, the sea bed. Two experiments were performed in France (GESMA site) in October ...

    • 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 ...

    • An adaptive cross-layer routing protocol for underwater acoustic networks 

      Petroccia, Roberto; Pelekanakis, Konstantinos; Alves, João; Fioravanti, Stefano; Blouin, Stephane; Pecknold, Sean (2019/05)
      This short paper presents an adaptive cross-layer routing protocol for Underwater Acoustic Networks (UANs). The proposed solution, termed NADIR for Network Aware aDaptIve Routing, is fully distributed and self-adaptive. ...

    • Camelot - localization beacon system 

      Stipanov, Marin; Fioravanti, Stefano (CMRE, 2019-05)
      C2 Advanced Multi-Domain Environment And Live Observation Technologies (CAMELOT) is a H2020 project intended to develop and demonstrate different advanced command and control service modules for multiple platform domains ...

    • Localization of small surface vessels through acoustic data fusion of two tetrahedral arrays of hydrophones 

      Tesei, Alessandra; Fioravanti, Stefano; Grandi, Vittorio; Guerrini, Piero; Maguer, Alain (CMRE, 2014/01)
      Detection and tracking of vessels is important in confined areas such as marine parks or harbors. Nowadays, the presence of ships can be accurately monitored either by radar or via AIS system, while small vessels, which ...

    • Receiving and transmitting acoustic systems for AUV/gliders 

      Maguer, Alain; Dymond, Rodney; Guerrini, Piero; Troiano, Luigi; Grandi, Vittorio; Figoli, Alberto; Olivero, Claudio; Sapienza, Alessandro; Fioravanti, Stefano; Potter, John Robert (NURC, 2009/12)
      NURC in the past years have focused its research on the use of AUV and more recently on gliders and is now developing littoral autonomous sensing networks based onthose sensors to perform missions such as mine warfare, ...

    • 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 ...
