    • Environmental impact on mobile sonar shallow water operations 

      Monti, Joseph M.; Browning, David G. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1993/08)
      Shallow Water operations provide unique challenges for mobile sonars. In many cases propagation conditions can be optimized - our studies have shown that sound channeling can occur in approximately 75% of the strategic ...

    • Estimation of chirp sonar signal attenuation for classification of marine sediments: improved spectral ratio method 

      Maroni, C. S.; Quinquis, A. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)
      Remote sediment classification through acoustic methods is of great interest for a few years. The attenuation coefficient of the transmitted wave is an important feature to characterize physical sediment layers properties. ...

    • Experience with a MAP 300 array processor 

      Nesfield, Philip (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)
      The paper is a summary of the experience collected during almost two years of programming a CSPI MAP 300 array ' processor in signal processing applications. After a short overview of the most interesting features of SNAP ...

    • Graphics for real-time signal-processing systems 

      McCann, Michael J. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)
      A graphics software package able to produce hardcopy plots of multi-channel (of the order of 100 channels) data for real-time applications is described. The system is implemented at present using a lineprinter with graphics ...

    • Laboratory utilization of a standard signal processor 

      Molino, Frank W.; Vernaglia, John E.; Lambs, Jerry C.; Coggins, William J. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)
      The AN/UYS-l Advanced Signal Processor (ASP), or PROTEUS, is the U.S. Navy's standard signal processor and is being utilized in several systems. For shipboard use, the ASP is used as a processor with no peripherals, generally ...
