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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Bandwidth efficient concurrent localisation and communication in underwater acoustic networks
(CMRE, 2019/05)
Localisation is essential for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) to perform its mission and to georeference any data acquired during the dive. When the AUV is part of a heterogeneous underwater acoustic network (UAN), ...
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. ...
Cooperation and networking in an underwater network composed by heterogeneous assets
(CMRE, 2019/06)
Underwater communication and robot technologies have grown rapidly in the last decade. Systems made of underwater unmanned vehicles have moved from single vehicle deployments to systems comprising teams of assets. As of ...
Localisation using undersea wireless networks
(CMRE, 2019/05)
Underwater navigation for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) is a challenging task, requiring a trade-off between performance, costs and operational time. The project Network Long Base Line (Net- LBL) proposes a system ...
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 ...
