On the predictability of subsurface sound speed from satellite-measured sea-surface temperature in the Mediterranean
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/01)The report investigates the extent to which subsurface sound speed may be determined from satellitemeasured -
On the recording of low frequency signals on magnetic tape
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1962/01)A short review of the different methods of recording on magnetic tape is given together with the advantages and disadvantages of each method. Particular emphasis was given to the ability to record low frequencies. This ... -
On the relationship between SAS image resolution and target-detection performance
(CMRE, 2019/06)The relationship between synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) image resolution and target-detection performance is quantified. It is first demonstrated how a lower-resolution SAS system can be simulated in a principled manner ... -
On the spatial variability of the impulse response of an underwater acoustic channel
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2000/05)In many applications like adaptive equalization, beam-forming, matched field processing or focalization the performance is limited due to changes in the impulse response caused by variations in source-receiver range or in ... -
On-board real-time assessment of acoustic environmental parameters relevant to the estimation of sonar performance for autonomous underwater vehicles
(CMRE, 2019/05)CMRE is evaluating the use of autonomous robots for the detection and tracking of underwater targets. Robotic detection and localization comes with many challenges, not the least of which is the requirement to maximize the ... -
Online estimation of unknown parameters in multisensor-multitarget tracking: a belief propagation approach
(CMRE, 2019/05)We propose a Bayesian multisensor-multitarget tracking framework, which adapts to randomly changing conditions by continually estimating unknown model parameters along with the target states. The time-evolution of the model ... -
Optimal detection and tracking of acoustical noise sources in a time-varying environment
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1982/06)A dynamical detector estimator is derived for nonlinear nongaussian signal processes based on Bucy's representation theorem which is the fundamental result in stochastic filtering. A quantized version of two-dimensional ... -
Optimum bearing resolution for a moving towed array and extension of its physical aperture
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1989/04)This report examines the limits of the angular resolution capability of a moving towed array (MTA) by -
Optimum sampling designs for a glider-mooring observing network
(CMRE, 2014/01)Ocean observing systems (OOSs) constituted by moorings and gliders are becoming relevant in oceanographic and climate studies. In these observing networks, the temporal variability is captured by mooring observations, while ... -
An ordered family of consistency measures of belief functions
(CMRE, 2019/05)We propose a family of measures of consistency (and induced conflict) derived from a definition of consistent belief functions introduced previously. Besides satisfying the desired properties of monotonicity, boundedness, ... -
Overview of the ADPS signal processor
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12) -
A paradigm shift of interoperable submarine rescue operations: the usage of JANUS during the Dynamic Monarch 2017 exercise
(CMRE, 2019/05)The NATO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) participated for the first time in the Dynamic Monarch submarine rescue exercise, bringing to the operational players a new interoperable digital underwater ... -
Parameter estimation using multi-frequency range-dependent acoustic data in shallow water
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/11)The estimation of all forward model parameters - geometric, geoacoustic, -
Parametric relations on FM sonar
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1961/06)The report deals with the simple theory of FM sonar operations and shows how an optimum system may be designed. It also indicates the effects of doppler, the equipment and other factors which may be expected, in practice, ... -
Passive acoustic detection of marine mammals
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2000/04)A passive acoustic analysis of data recorded during the SACLANTCEN -
Passive acoustic surveillance of surface vessels using tridimensional array on an underwater glider
(CMRE, 2019/06)The NATO-STO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) has proposed to approach the problem of monitoring marine traffic in defined sea areas by using passive acoustics on a mobile underwater platform, in ... -
Passive localization using propagation models
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1987/06)Passive ranging using propagation models can be effected in two different ways: forward modeling -
Passive ranging with the SNAP model: a performance study
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1987/07)A passive ranging technique which uses SNAP, the SACLANT Centre's normal-mode model, is studied. An examination is made of the sensitivity of the technique to errors in the assumed sound -
PC-based propagation and sonar prediction models
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1995/12)Six acoustic models available for use on PC's are tested on a series of typical propagation situations from the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean. The model set includes both early US Navy models (ASTRAL, FACT, RAYMODE) ... -
Penetration of acoustic waves into sandy seafloors at low grazing angles: the Helmholtz-Kirchhoff approach
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/08)The Helmholtz-Kirchhoff integral is applied to model the penetration of sound waves into sandy seafloors at grazing angles above and below the critical angle. Although the conditions for the validity
