Deep water mass circulation in the Alboran Basin: Measurements - August to November'83: ALBORAN III
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1988/02)The circulation of the deep water mass in the western Alboran Sea is studied. Interaction between the -
Deep water mass circulation in the Alboran basin: measurements - January to April '82 ALBORAN II
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1987/09)Alboran Sea circulation between 220 m and 1100 m depth is studied. Interaction between three water types, Atlantic water, Levantine water, and western Mediterranean Deep water cause a complicated flow pattern. Atlantic ... -
Deep-sea circulation in the Alboran sea
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1985/04)Alboran Sea circulation between 220 and 1100 m depth is studied. Interaction between three types of water masses in this area causes a complicated flow pattern. Atlantic water flowing as a jet through the Strait of Gibraltar ... -
Delay-Doppler resolution performance of large time-bandwidth product linear FM signals in a multi- path ocean environment
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1989/04)Active sonar systems that transmit large time-bandwidth (TW)-product linear frequency modulated (LFM) waveforms and receive echoes from targets of unknow~r~an ge and speed can suffer considerable correlation losses that ... -
Demystifying deep convolutional neural networks for sonar image classification
(CMRE, 2019/06)Deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are developed to perform underwater target classification in synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) imagery. The deep networks are trained using a huge database of sonar data collected at ... -
Deployable underwater surveillance systems(DUSS): localization and fusion of multistatic contacts: evaluation of feasibility using experimental data
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/12)Active sonar deployable underwater surveillance systems (DUSS) are based on a distributed network -
Deployable underwater surveillance systems: analysis of experimental results: part III
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1999/04)Deployable Underwater Surveillance Systems (DUSS) are a new active sonar concept based on a distributed network of small multistatic transmitter / receiver nodes. This study analyzes data acquired during the period 29 June ... -
Deployment of a persistent underwater acoustic sensor network: the CommsNet17 experience
(CMRE, 2019/05)This paper presents the experimental activities performed by the NATO STO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) during the CommsNet17 trial where a persistent Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network (UASN) was ... -
Depth dependence of directionality of ambient noise in the North Pacific: experimental data and equipment design
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06)Ambient ocean noise studies have been part of the research program of the Marine Physical Lab (MPL) for many years. In recent years this work has included several studies of the depth dependence of vertical directionality ... -
Design of synthetic aperture sonar systems for high-resolution seabed imaging (tutorial slides)
(NURC, 2006/10)This tutorial reviews the key aspects of the design of synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) systems for -
Detecting anomalous deviations from standard maritime routes using the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process
(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 ... -
Detection models and target information processing
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06)The passive sonar equation leads in a natural manner to sensor detection performance contours. Useful information can be extracted from observed fractional holding time on non-cooperative targets by use of these contours. ... -
Detection of buried mines using Rayleigh-scattered second-derivative Gaussian pulses
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1995/10)Large ground mines which are intentionally or unintentionally buried in the sediment have proven to -
Detection of buried objects at low grazing angles: preliminary experimental results
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/06)This report considers the acoustic detection of objects buried in the seabed, and especially the possibility of using subcritical insonification geometries in order to increase coverage rate. -
Detection of buried objects in the seabed: a simple model study
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/10)The problem of detecting an object buried in the seabed is studied by means of a simple model. In this model, the object is a rigid sphere buried in a bottom modelled as a fluid half space. The scattered field is determined ... -
Detection of narrow-band low-level signals: simulated performance of high-resolution eigenstructure methods versus conventional beamforming
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1988/08)In this report the detection of narrow-band low-level signals by passive sonar is addressed, -
Detection of objects on a non Rayleigh background
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1995/12)Sector scanning sonar systems image the sea-bottom to detect objects that can be distinguished from the background structure of the seabottom. In current systems images are displayed and discarded as new image data become ... -
Detection rate statistics in synthetic aperture sonar images
(NURC, 2009/12)Synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) has proved to be successful for mine hunting andis now robust for generating high-resolution images over wide swath. The subsequent stepin the processing is detection, discriminating between ... -
