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 ...
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 ...
Experiments with multi-vehicle operations: the Rapid Environmental Picture Atlantic exercise 2014
(CMRE, 2019/06)
The paper describes the Rapid Environmental Picture Atlantic exercise 2014 (REP14-Atlantic), with special focus on the experiments with autonomous underwater, surface and air vehicles, and discusses how large scale ...
A verification, validation and accreditation process for autonomous interoperable systems
(CMRE, 2019/05)
Navies, Industries and Research are investigating how to move to future mine counter measure operations where of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles work collaboratively with minimal human interaction. Modelling and ...
Distributed information fusion in multistatic sensor networks for underwater surveillance
(CMRE, 2017/11)
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 ...
Adaptive underwater sonar surveys in the presence of strong currents
(CMRE, 2017/11)
We consider the task of conducting underwater surveys with a sonar-equipped autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in environments with strong currents. More specifically, this topic is addressed in the context of mine ...
A distributed framework for embedded collaborative autonomy
(CMRE, 2019/05)
We have designed and implemented a framework for the development and deployment of multi-agent task allocation solutions, with particular awareness of the operational constraints encountered by Unmanned Maritime Systems ...
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 ...
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 ...
Autonomous underwater surveillance networks: a task allocation framework to manage cooperation
(2019/05)
The design of efficient task allocation schemes is essential to manage autonomous underwater robotic surveillance networks. The network has to assign the most suited robots to the tasks which compose the mission, in spite ...
