Directional measurements of low-frequency acoustic backscattering from the seafloor
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/06)Long-range, low-frequency directional measurements of acoustic backscattering from the seafloor were made in the Tyrrhenian Sea using explosi ve sound sources. The signals were received by a horizontal towed array of ... -
Display techniques
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)This paper sets out to review current sonar information displayc and to indicate how technological advances over the past decade lead to the concept of a common information display console. To appreciate the problems ... -
Dissecting uncertainty-based fusion techniques for maritime anomaly detection
(CMRE, 2019/06)Detecting and classifying anomalies for Maritime Situation Awareness gets a lot of benefit from the combination of multiple sources, correlating their output for detecting inconsistencies in vessels' behaviour. Adequate ... -
Distortion of bottom reflected pulses
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1966/03)The theory of linear systems combined with numerical Fourier transformations and inversion is used to obtain the shape of a general pressure pulse after its reflection from a general multilayered sea floor. The method is ... -
A distributed approach to estimating sea port operational regions from lots of AIS data
(CMRE, 2019/06)Seaports play a vital role in the global economy, as they operate as the connection corridors to all other modes of transport and as engines of growth for the wider region. But ports today are faced with numerous unique ... -
A distributed framework for embedded collaborative autonomy
(CMRE, 2019/05)We have designed and implemented a framework for the development and deployment of multi-agent task allocation solutions, with particular awareness of the operational constraints encountered by Unmanned Maritime Systems ... -
Distributed information fusion in multistatic sensor networks for underwater surveillance
(CMRE, 2019/06)Surveillance in antisubmarine warfare has traditionally been carried out by means of submarines or frigates with towed arrays. These techniques are manpower intensive. Alternative approaches have recently been suggested ... -
Distributed information fusion in multistatic sensor networks for underwater surveillance
(CMRE, 2017/11)Surveillance in antisubmarine warfare has traditionally been carried out by means of submarines or frigates with towed arrays. These techniques are manpower intensive. Alternative approaches have recently been suggested ... -
Distributed underwater glider network with consensus Kalman filter for environmental field estimation
(CMRE, 2019/06)A distributed coordinated dynamic sensor network for optimal environmental field estimation is proposed and tested on simulated and real data. The architecture is used to distribute the estimation of 3D timevarying fields ... -
Distributions of magnetic field variations, differences and residuals
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1999/02)Temporal and spatial variations of the geomagnetic field were recorded in different geographic areas, -
A document-based data model for large scale computational maritime situational awareness
(CMRE, 2019/06)Computational Maritime Situational Awareness (MSA) supports the maritime industry, governments, and international organizations with machine learning and big data techniques for analyzing vessel traffic data available ... -
Doppler passive fathometry
(CMRE, 2019/05)Passive fathometry is a technique whereby broadband ambient ocean noise received on an array of hydrophones is averaged and cross-correlated to produce a sub-bottom profile [Siderius, Harrison, and Porter (2006). J. Acoust. ... -
Drifter and float observations in the Adriatic Sea (1994-1996): data report
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/12)During the period December 1994 to November 1995, 62 Argos tracked surface drifters, one Argos tracked drifter drogued to 300 m and 3 Argos tracked sub-surface floats were released in the Adriatic Sea to describe the ... -
Drifter observations in the Nordic Seas (1991-1995) data report
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/02)During the period June 1991 to August 1993, 107 Argos tracked drifters drogued to 15 m depth were released in the Nordic seas (or Greenland-Iceland-Norwegian [GIN] sea) to study the variability of the near-surface circulation ... -
DUSS97: source localization and environmental inversion using vertical array data
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/08)Results on source localization and environmental inversion using experimental data acquired on a vertical line array are presented. Global inversion methods based on genetic algorithms are utilized to estimated the range ... -
