Experimental evaluation of Net-LBL: an acoustic network-based navigation system
(CMRE, 2019/06)
This paper describes the use and in-field evaluation of a Networked-Long Base Line system (Net-LBL) where a network of underwater nodes cooperate to support the localisation and navigation of mobile vehicles. To avoid the ...
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 ...
Deployment of a persistent underwater acoustic sensor network: the CommsNet17 experience
(CMRE, 2019/05)
This paper presents the experimental activities performed by the NATO STO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation (CMRE) during the CommsNet17 trial where a persistent Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network (UASN) was ...
Cooperative robotic networks for underwater surveillance: an overview
(CMRE, 2019/06)
Underwater surveillance has traditionally been carried out by means of surface and undersea manned vessels equipped with advanced sensor systems. This approach is often costly and manpower intensive. Marine robotics is an ...
A market-based task allocation framework for autonomous underwater surveillance networks
(CMRE, 2019/06)
Realisation of underwater robotic surveillance networks raises several challenges for marine robotics. The underwater scenario is typically characterised by intermittent and unreliable communication. This makes it challenging ...
Towards fully autonomous underwater vehicles in ASW scenarios: an adaptive data driven AUV mission management layer
(CMRE, 2019/06)
We present an adaptive, data driven Mission Management Layer (MML) to manage the phases (surveillance, track prosecution and target reacquisition) of the mission of AUVs operating as receiver nodes in a multistatic network ...
AUV active perception: exploiting the water column
(CMRE, 2019/06)
Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) present a low-cost alternative or supplement to existing underwater surveillance networks. The NATO STO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation is developing collaborative ...
A robust, opportunistic clock synchronization algorithm for ad hoc underwater acoustic networks
(CMRE, 2019/06)
The proliferation of deployed sea-going autonomous platforms, such as autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), unmanned surface vehicles (USV), and sensor nodes anchored to the seabed, makes the deployment of true underwater ...
An autonomous underwater vehicle data-driven control strategy for target tracking
(CMRE, 2019/05)
This paper presents a data-driven approach to control the movement of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) operating as receivers of a multistatic sonar surveillance network. The algorithm adopts a nonmyopic receding ...
