dc.description.abstract | NATO's research and technology objectives for anti-submarine warfare (ASW) include persistent scalable heterogeneous wide-area surveillance networks for the littoral environment. Network and system design considerations for a defined mission objective include communication bandwidth, command and control, sensor type, sensor autonomy, interoperability, interference, data fusion architecture, on-board processing, and for the operational level sonar frequencies, pulse types and bandwidths. Moreover, sonar performance prediction tools, rapid environmental assessment (REA) and tactical planning aids are crucial | |

dc.description.abstract | In the last decades NURC has extensively researched multistatic active sonar both for ship- and | |
dc.description.abstract | buoy-based systems. In the coming years NATO's emphasis for the underwater battlespace will | |
dc.description.abstract | shift towards networked solutions including both fixed and mobile sensor nodes. To facilitate this change, a research programme has been launched at NURC that employs both autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) equipped with towed arrays and autonomous bottomed nodes that | |
dc.description.abstract | include a cocktail of both acoustic and non-acoustic sensors. All sensors can be linked in a | |
dc.description.abstract | communication network. This article focuses on NURC's present research in the field, highlighting: system design considerations, progress to date and a proposed roadmap for future development. | |
