Planning tools for maritime operations
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1996/06)The Commander Allied Naval Forces Southern Europe (COMNAVSOUTH) tasked SACLANT Undersea Research Centre to conduct a study to optimize the employment of limited ASW assets in the protection of shipping in the Western ... -
Pre-design operational requirements for underwater drones
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1989/11)The purpose of this report, prepared at the behest of Panel 7 of the Defence Research Group at NATO headquarters in Brussels, is to list -
Predicting underwater ambient noise with an evolutionary signal processing method
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2001/06)In this report we employ recent developments in non-linear physics and time series prediction to study the physical characteristics of measured underwater ambient sounds. Specifically, we examine the predictability of a ... -
Principles and methods of core analysis at the SACLANT ASW Research Centre
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1967/08)The methods and accuracy of measuring core parameters at the SACLANTCEN are described. Those for measuring sound velocity and electrical resistivity are explained in detail. -
Probability of false alarm estimation in oversampled active sonar systems
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/08)The probability of false alarm (Pfa)in active sonar systems is an -
Problems of pursuit and evasion
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1966/06)Problems of pursuit and evasion play significant part in naval warfare - particularly in ASW. They are of no less importance in aerial warfare and are now becoming important in space. Their practical importance has given ... -
Proceedings of the Maritime Big Data Workshop
(2019-01)The NATO STO Centre for Maritime Research and Experimentation, as part of its mission to put forward the technological maritime research, with the support of the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Programme has organized on ... -
Proceedings of the Maritime Situational Awareness Workshop 2019
(CMRE, 2021-01)The Maritime Situational Awareness Workshop (MSAW) was held 08 - 10 October 2019 in Lerici, La Spezia (Italy). CMRE organized this workshop with the objective of fostering the crossfertilization of ideas from scientific ... -
Project 03F - 1: phase 1 completion report
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2002/12)This report describes the results of Phase I of Project 03F-1. The overall aim of this project is to -
PROSIM broadband normal-mode model: a user's guide
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2000/02)PROSIM is a layered normal-mode model approach for adiabatic broadband range-dependent sound -
Qualitative aspects of seismograph-ocean bottom interaction
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1988/06)The parameters affecting the coupling of the Ocean Bottom Seismometer to the ground have been -
RABEL - A program to replay ABEL version 2.2
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997/05)The description of a graphics software tool used to view and manipulate data file is presented. The software is implemented to run in the IDL environment on any platform. RAbel is able to read data from files in the ADAM ... -
RAPID RESPONSE, september 1996: modelling of broadband transmission loss along selected tracks in the Strait of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997/07)A large set of experimental acoustic broadband data in the 50-3200 Hz band is analyzed with the objective of deriving average geoacoustic models for three sites in the Strait of Sicily. The experimental data were obtained ... -
Real-and synthetic-array signal processing of buried targets
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2002/01)Results from two field experiments aimed at investigating the detection and classification of buried targets are presented. In both experiments a 2-16 kHz parametric source was used. In the first experiment the source was ... -
Real-time, general-purpose, high-speed signal processing systems for underwater research: proceedings of a working-level conference held at SACLANTCEN on 18-21 September 1979 - part 1 : sessions 1 to 3
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)During the last few years, advances in the computer field have reached a level where it is possible to implement fast signal-processing systems through the use of standard computer equipment operating in association with ... -
Reduction of low frequency active sonar clutter through image processing
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997/12)Large numbers of false clutter detections arise in the use of low frequency active sonar for the detection of low Doppler submarine targets in shallow water. Traditional detection algorithms operate individually on each ... -
Remote sensing of topographically-induced upwelling in the southern coastal region of Sicily
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/09)Upwelling signatures caused by variations in bottom topography along the southeastern Sicilian coast are identified, using spaceborne remote sensing Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) imagery, ERS-1 and ... -
