A data-driven control strategy in synergy with continuous active sonar for littoral underwater surveillance
(CMRE, 2017/11)In this work, we describe a data-driven Mission Management Layer (MML) running on-board AUVs which manages the phases of a littoral surveillance mission and exploits the characteristics of Continuous Active Sonar (CAS) ... -
A fast display processor for sonar echoes
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)This paper presents a display processor for a CRT, which shows a horizontal projection of underwater targets. Sonar echoes are drawn as short lines across a 50 beam, in random scan and with 50 Hz refresh. The high speed ... -
A micro-programmable correlator for real-time radar processing
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)This paper presents a novel design of a multibit, digital correlator for incoherent scatter radar observations. By utilizing bit-slice microprocessor elements and internal control by microcode instructions, a high-speed ... -
A modular approach to signal processing
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)This paper outlines work in progress on modular systems for beamforming and signal processing. The modules described were developed using commercially available digital L.S.I circuits and the emphasis during development ... -
A modular signal processing software development system
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)A software development system is being built by the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) to aid production of modular signal processing software for U. S. Navy airborne ASW platforms using the Navy's Advanced Signal Processor ... -
A novel method to enlarge the scanning region of a focused beamformer
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)Often focused beamforming systems use the Fresnel approximation to compute the required delays. Unfortunately, such an approximation has a validity region that is very narrow around the broadside direction. To investrgate ... -
A shallow water system for maximizing echo to reverberation ratio
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)A method for increasing incident energy on mid-depth targets while at the same range reducing boundary reverberation for shallow water ducts has been devised. The basis of the approach is couched in range dependant normal ... -
A simple deconvolution method for NAPOLI'85
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1991/10)An inverse filter (deconvolution in the frequency domain) is applied -
A versatile signal-processing system for producing the angular and frequency distribution of acoustic energy in real time
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)For a number of years the US Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has been conducting a research program in underwater sound propagation using large aperture hydrophone arrays. This research requires the spectral and angular ... -
About the effective Doppler sensitivity of certain nonlinear chirp signals (NLFM)
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08) -
Achievable signal gains for line arrays in shallow water
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)The well-documented conformance of signal gain to a 20 log n relationship for deep water, refracted paths, does not apply to shallow water where angular spreading effects from boundary roughness limit the signal gains that ... -
Active detection enhancement in coastal areas
(NURC, 2006/08)The processing chain used for active detection analysis in association with measures of performance that allow real time performance monitoring is presented. Real life examples demonstrating environmental volatility ... -
Active signal detection in shallow water using the Page test
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/11)The use of active sonar in shallow water results in received echoes that may be considerably spread in time compared to the transmitted wave form. The duration and structure of the spreading and the time of occurrence of ... -
Adaptive filter of seabed clutter onboard the AUVs of an active multistatic sonar network
(CMRE, 2019/05)This work aims at reducing the false alarm rate of a multistatic active sonar working in coastal, shallow waters. The sonar system is implemented through a heterogeneous manned-unmanned network including autonomous underwater ... -
Adaptive normalization of active sonar data
(NURC, 2006/08)In active sonar detection the background interference is reduced through normalization prior to applying a detection threshold. From the two mainstream normalization algorithms, i.e. the sliding window and the split window, ... -
Adaptive sub-band processing in active detection and tracking
(NURC, 2007/11)Broadband active systems have the potential to increase detection performance in reverberation-limited areas through increased signal bandwidth, i.e. small resolution cell. However, large bandwidth could over-resolve the ... -
Advanced digital processor research at DREA
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)This informal presentation deals with an array processor built by ESE Ltd of Toronto under contract to the Defense Research Establishment Atlantic, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada. The processor and software was delivered ... -
Alternative approach to passive sonar
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1987/10)An alternative approach to spatial processing for passive sonar is proposed and discussed. It is -
Ambiguity reduction of underwater targets in framework of topic modeling
