Knowledge-based ship tracking applied to HF surface wave radar data
(CMRE, 2019/06)In recent years, low-power high-frequency surface-wave radars have received significant attention thanks to their over-the-horizon coverage capability and the continuous-time operation mode. These radars have become effective ... -
Laboratory utilization of a standard signal processor
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)The AN/UYS-l Advanced Signal Processor (ASP), or PROTEUS, is the U.S. Navy's standard signal processor and is being utilized in several systems. For shipboard use, the ASP is used as a processor with no peripherals, generally ... -
Le programme Ulysse: réseau de bouées pour l'étude statistique du bruit ambiant sous-marin
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06) -
Learning with privacy in consensus + obfuscation
(CMRE, 2019/06)We examine the interplay between learning and privacy over multiagent consensus networks. The learning objective of each individual agent consists of computing some global network statistic, and is accomplished by means ... -
Liability issues of unmanned surface vehicles
(CMRE, 2019/05) -
Limitations on towed array gain imposed by a non-isotropic ocean
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1990/08)This study deals with the limitations imposed by ocean characteristics on hydrophone array gain and on attempts to create a synthetic aperture using towed-array measurements. The multi-element synthetic or physical aperture ... -
Localisation using undersea wireless networks
(CMRE, 2019/05)Underwater navigation for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) is a challenging task, requiring a trade-off between performance, costs and operational time. The project Network Long Base Line (Net- LBL) proposes a system ... -
Localization of multiple sources using time-difference of arrival measurements
(CMRE, 2019/06)This paper addresses the problem of localizing an unknown number of static sources emitting unknown signals from time-difference of arrival (TDOA) measurements. Based on the framework of random finite sets and finite set ... -
Localization of small surface vessels through acoustic data fusion of two tetrahedral arrays of hydrophones
(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 ... -
Logarithmic least mean square sound-field estimation
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1987/03)The report deals with narrowband beamforming techniques for passive sonar applications. In particular, the Least Mean Square fit parameter estimation technique is used to estimate the spatial sound-field power density. To ... -
Long range, large throughput radio data links for DUSS (Deployable Underwater Surveillance Systems)
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1999/10)Two mono-directional radio telemetry systems are described operating from a buoy to NRV Alliance at frequencies of 0.4 and 2.28 GHz. Digital data at 2 Mbps were transmitted close to the sea surface, collecting information ... -
Long-term vessel kinematics prediction exploiting mean-reverting processes
(CMRE, 2019/06)Long-term target state estimation of non-manoeuvring targets, such as vessels under way in open sea, is crucial for maritime security. The dynamics of non-manoeuvring targets is traditionally modelled with a white noise ... -
Low frequency active sonar (LFA) bottom loss requirements
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)A bottom interaction simulator was developed to investigate LFA bottom bounce losses, i.e., the mismatch losses, which occur in matched filter processing of bottom and target reflected signals due to the time spreading ... -
Low frequency active sonar noise rejection in a multistatic sonar system
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)The use of low frequency active sonar for ASW has repercussions on automated detection performance. Input data contain not only target returns, but also noise formed by returns from the environment The detector may report ... -

Low frequency resonance backscatter from near-surface bubble clouds
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)When active sonar systems are used to insonate the sea surface, anomalous scattering is observed in the form of enhanced backscatter, and more importantly, in the form of discrete, bright echoes. The most plausible explanation ... -
Low-frequency acoustic measurements in a shallow-water area with a rough sea surface
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1975/10)Surface wave spectra have been measured in the North Sea simultaneously with acoustic investigations using explosive and CW sources. The goal of these experiments was to determine the influence of surface waves to low-frequency ... -
Low-frequency ambient noise in the deep sound channel: the missing component
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1981/07)There is an important component of the undersea ambient noise which has generally been overlooked or ignored. It is the noise which arrives at a sensor, located in a deep sound channel, by way of ducted sound propagation. ... -
