    • Channel-adapted source for shallow water 

      Gingras, Donald F. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)
      In shallow water areas the utilization of active sonar is complicated by the fact that in these environments the performance of active systems is degraded by source signal interaction with channel boundaries. These boundary ...
    • Correlation of backscatter with bottom topography 

      Denney, M. R.; Jones, A. D. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)
      Practical data from low frequency sonar operations in shallow water has been analysed to demonstrate that a high degree of correlation exists between the received signal due to bottom hackscattering and the hottom gradient ...
    • 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 ...
    • Real-time continuous active sonar processing 

      Canepa, Gaetano; Munafò, Andrea; Murphy, Brian; Micheli, Michele; Morlando, Luca (CMRE, 2019/06)
      This work describes the development of continuous active sonar (CAS) processing at CMRE. The software uses subband processing to achieve a faster update rate than is possible with pulsed active sonar (PAS). The software ...
    • 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 ...
