    • Localization of small surface vessels through acoustic data fusion of two tetrahedral arrays of hydrophones 

      Tesei, Alessandra; Fioravanti, Stefano; Grandi, Vittorio; Guerrini, Piero; Maguer, Alain (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 ...

    • Passive acoustic surveillance of surface vessels using tridimensional array on an underwater glider 

      Tesei, Alessandra; Been, Robert; Cardeira, Bruno; Galletti, Domenico; Cecchi, Daniele; Garau, Bartolome; Maguer, Alain; Williams, David P. (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 ...

    • Receiving and transmitting acoustic systems for AUV/gliders 

      Maguer, Alain; Dymond, Rodney; Guerrini, Piero; Troiano, Luigi; Grandi, Vittorio; Figoli, Alberto; Olivero, Claudio; Sapienza, Alessandro; Fioravanti, Stefano; Potter, John Robert (NURC, 2009/12)
      NURC in the past years have focused its research on the use of AUV and more recently on gliders and is now developing littoral autonomous sensing networks based onthose sensors to perform missions such as mine warfare, ...

    • Recent technological advances in underwater autonomy 

      Maguer, Alain; Been, Robert; Tesei, Alessandra; Alves, João; Grandi, Vittorio; Biagini, Stefano (2019/05)
      Underwater Unmanned systems (or more precisely systems of systems) will definitely play an important role in future maritime surveillance and environmental data collection. For many years, the NATO Centre for Maritime ...

    • Sub-bands beam-space adaptive beamformer for port-starboard rejection in triplet sonar arrays 

      Stinco, Pietro; Tesei, Alessandra; Maguer, Alain; Ferraioli, Fabrizio; Latini, Valerio; Pesa, Luca (CMRE, 2019/05)
      This paper addresses the problem of Port-Starboard (PS) beamforming for low-frequency active sonar (LFAS) with a triplet receiver array. The paper presents a new algorithm for sub-bands beam-space adaptive beamforming with ...
