Adaptive autonomous underwater vehicles for littoral surveillance: the GLINT10 field trial results
(NURC, 2012/05)
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have gained more interest in recent years for military as well as civilian applications. One potential application of AUVs is for the purpose of undersea surveillance. As research into ...
A data-driven control strategy in synergy with continuous active sonar for littoral underwater surveillance
(CMRE, 2017/11)
In this work, we describe a data-driven Mission Management Layer (MML) running on-board AUVs which manages the phases of a littoral surveillance mission and exploits the characteristics of Continuous Active Sonar (CAS) ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Continuous active sonars for littoral undersea surveillance
(CMRE, 2019/05)
Recent advances in transducer and computing technology have pushed the concept of continuous active sonar (CAS) or high duty cycle sonar as an area of interest for application to antisubmarine warfare. Unlike conventional ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
On-board real-time assessment of acoustic environmental parameters relevant to the estimation of sonar performance for autonomous underwater vehicles
(CMRE, 2019/05)
CMRE is evaluating the use of autonomous robots for the detection and tracking of underwater targets. Robotic detection and localization comes with many challenges, not the least of which is the requirement to maximize the ...
