Autonomous networked anti-submarine warfare research and development at CMRE
(CMRE, 2019/06)CMRE has been evaluating the potential of autonomous networked ASW using underwater vehicles through a program of sonar signal processing, underwater communications, navigation and robotic behavior developments and at-sea ... -
Benchmark analysis of NURC multistatic tracking capability
(NURC, 2006/08)This paper provides a brief description and performance results for the multistatic sonar trackers developed at NURC. Our analysis is based on common data distributed as part of the Multistatic Tracking Working Group ... -
Benchmark evaluation of multistatic trackers
(NURC, 2006/08)This paper provides an overview of the Special Session on Multistatic Sonar and Radar Tracking at FUSION 2006. This includes background on the Multistatic Tracking Working Group, a brief description of the datasets and ... -
Contact-level multistatic sonar data simulator for tracker performance assessment
(NURC, 2006/08)This paper provides an overview of a multistatic sonar contact-data simulation approach and a dataset generated specifically for tracker algorithm evaluation by the Multistatic Tracking Working Group (MSTWG). A brief ... -
Detection, tracking and fusion of multiple HFSW radars for ship traffic surveillance: experimental performance assessment
(CMRE, 2014/05)Low-power HF surface-wave radars fit well the role of long-range early-warning tools in maritime situational awareness applications, by virtue of their over-the-horizon coverage capability and continuoustime mode of ... -
Distributed information fusion in multistatic sensor networks for underwater surveillance
(CMRE, 2019/06)Surveillance in antisubmarine warfare has traditionally been carried out by means of submarines or frigates with towed arrays. These techniques are manpower intensive. Alternative approaches have recently been suggested ... -
Distributed information fusion in multistatic sensor networks for underwater surveillance
(CMRE, 2017/11)Surveillance in antisubmarine warfare has traditionally been carried out by means of submarines or frigates with towed arrays. These techniques are manpower intensive. Alternative approaches have recently been suggested ... -
Geo-spatial tactical decision aid systems: fuzzy logic for supporting decision making
(NURC, 2006/08)Tactical decision aid systems support -
Heterogeneous information fusion for multitarget tracking using the sum-product algorithm
(CMRE, 2019/06)The sum-product algorithm (SPA) was recently shown to provide a scalable methodology for multitarget tracking (MTT) using multiple sensors. Here, we focus on another advantage of the SPA frame-work, namely, its capacity ... -
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 ... -
Maritime surveillance using multiple high-frequency surface-wave radars
(CMRE, 2014/05)In the last decades, great interest has been directed toward low-power high-frequency (HF) surface-wave radars as long-range early warning tools in maritime-situational-awareness applications. These sensors, developed for ... -
Multi-sensor data acquisition, tracking, fusion and intelligent decision aids in the NATO Maritime Situational Awareness Initiative: countering underwater intruders
(NURC, 2007/10)The objective of the NATO Maritime -
Multistatic sonar: a road to a maritime network enabled capability
(NURC, 2007/10)NATO's operational requirements emphasize interoperability of platforms participating in coalition task forces. Intelligently fusing data of multiple sensor systems and the development of adapted tactics are necessary steps ... -
Network-enabled information fusion in support of underwater research
(NURC, 2007/11)Advanced communication and information processing techniques can be applied to underwater research to enable new ways of enhancing real-time experimental outcome. This paper is concerned with three main areas where ... -
Real-time underwater positioning and navigation of an AUV in deep waters
(CMRE, 2019/05)Due to the absence of GPS, navigation of autonomous vehicles underwater requires the integration of various measurements to provide the best location estimate. Usually in littoral waters, adequate navigational accuracy may ... -
Sensor-driven glider data processing
(CMRE, 2019/06)Gliders data are an important source of observations for oceanographers, hence harmonization and interoperability among different acquisition systems are key enablers towards efficient data sharing and effective reuse. As ... -
The dynamics of information fusion: synthetic versus misassociation
(NURC, 2006/08)Fusion entails both the association and synthesis of information. If missassociations occur, they obviously undermine the gains won by synthesis, compromising the fusion product. An analytic framework is presented here to ... -
Underwater optical and acoustic imaging: a time for fusion? a brief overview of the state-of-the-art
(CMRE, 2019/06)Underwater optical imaging has several drawbacks inherent to the physical medium such as light attenuation and turbidity. Sonars try to obviate those issues although, typically, they have lower resolutions. Combining visual ... -
Volumetric distribution of oceanographic fields estimated from remote sensing and in situ observations from autonomous underwater vehicles of opportunity
(NURC, 2012/04)A main challenge of military oceanography (MILOC) is to assess the oceanographic conditions of denied/highrisk marine regions. Monitoring technologies are limited to those that can provide access to these regions. Remote ...
