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 deep stepped thermohaline structure deep in the Mediterranean
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/09)A deep stepped thermohaline structure has been observed in the Tyrrhenian Sea below the Levant ine water salinity maximum. The layers are remarkably homogeneous starting with a thickness of 10 m - 20 m at 600 m and thereafter ... -
A detailed study of sound reflections from a layered ocean bottom
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1965/05)The effect of layered sediments on sound reflection from the ocean bottom has been investigated theoretically and experimentally. Very detailed, systematic and computer-aided calculations of the reflection coefficient of ... -
A digital depth recorder
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1966/11)The depth recorder described has been designed for the direct computer processing of data, which it provides in digital form on perforated tape. It is intended as a supplement to the Precision Depth Recorder installed on ... -
A digital recording system for LORAN-C
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1967/04)A method for digitally recording the readings of a Collins LORAN-C Mk LR 101 Receiver on punched paper tape is described. The various advantages of automatically recording LORAN-C data are examined and it is shown how, ... -
A direct digital acquisition system
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1972/05) -
A distributed ID assignment and topology discovery protocol for underwater acoustic networks
(CMRE, 2017/11)This paper presents a new protocol to self assign node IDs in an Underwater Acoustic Network (UAN). The proposed solution, termed DIVE for Distributed Id assignment and topology discoVEry, is fully distributed and ... -
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 fast field model for three-dimensional wave propagation in stratified environments based on the global matrix method
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/03)A three-dimensional fast field program (FFP) model based on the global matrix method will be presented. Compared to traditional propagator matrix methods, the global matrix method allows for a more efficient, and, furthermore, ... -
A general purpose software system for applications in different fields of physics
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)The paper presents the principle of a software system (FTSS) developed by the Danish Defence Research Establishment (DDRE) for applications in different fields of physics. Software is made up by independent modules exchanging ... -
A high frequency approach for seabed vegetation characterization
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)This paper focuses on the characterization of seabed vegetation, an interesting problem in a lot of Mediterranean sea coastal sites since water quality and pollution degree can be efficaciously solved by investigating the ... -
A high resolution seismic sequence analysis of the Malta Plateau
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1999/05)A high resolution seismic study of the Malta Plateau was conducted to characterize the Quaternary sediment layers, mapping their regional extent and determining the environmental conditions during their deposition. Seismic ... -
A mechanical model for estimating the motion of low altitude satellites with respect to the Earth's surface
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1965/08)The principles and design of a mechanical model used for demonstrating or approximately estimating the motion of low altitude satellites with respect to the earth's surface are described. -
