Toward the development of secure underwater acoustic networks
(CMRE, 2019/05)
Underwater acoustic networks (UANs) have been recognized as an enabling technology for various applications in the maritime domain. The wireless nature of the acoustic medium makes UANs vulnerable to various malicious ...
Secure underwater acoustic networks: current and future research directions
(CMRE, 2019/06)
Underwater Acoustic Networks (UANs) are widely used in various applications such as climate change monitoring, pollution control and tracking, tactical surveillance and offshore exploration. However, limited consideration ...
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 ...
An adaptive cross-layer routing protocol for underwater acoustic networks
(2019/05)
This short paper presents an adaptive cross-layer routing protocol for Underwater Acoustic Networks (UANs). The proposed solution, termed NADIR for Network Aware aDaptIve Routing, is fully distributed and self-adaptive. ...
Dynamic placement of a constellation of surface buoys for enhanced underwater positioning
(CMRE, 2019/06)
This paper addresses the challenge of dynamically adapting the location of the nodes in an acoustic network to optimise the localisation performance of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) operating in the area. A dynamic ...
Supporting AUV localisation through next generation underwater acoustic networks: results from the field
(CMRE, 2017/11)
This work describes how the localisation of autonomous underwater vehicles can be supported through net-worked acoustic communication. The localisation approach in-cludes timing information within acoustic messages to ...
Development of a software-defined and cognitive communications architecture at CMRE
(2019/05)
This paper presents an overview of the functionalities of the Cognitive Communications Architecture (CCA) that is currently under development at the NATO Science and Technology Organisation (STO) Centre for Maritime Research ...
