Bottom reflection properties deduced from an ambient noise: simulation of a processing technique
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2002/11)A promising new method has already been proposed [SACLANTCEN SM-387] to calculate bottom reflection loss from ambient noise directionality. Although this method has been tried experimentally at more than 11 sites under ... -
SUPREMO: a multistatic sonar performance model
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2002/11)Multistatic sonars introduce new problems to the modeller such as mutual interference from multiple sources and variable target aspect in a background of range-dependent bistatic reverberation. A multistatic sonar performance ... -
The characterization of a range-dependent environment using towed horizontal array data from the MAPEX 2000 experiment
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2002/11)The characterization of ocean environments using geoacoustic inversion techniques has received a -
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 -
Broadband signal simulation in shallow water
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2002/12)Today's minimum requirements for ocean acoustic models are to be able to simulate broadband signal transmissions in 2D varying environments with an acceptable computational effort. Standard -
Formulae for bistatic signal and reverberation
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2002/12)This report demonstrates that it is possible to obtain closed-form solutions for signal and reverberation in a wide variety of bistatic scenarios including ducts and bottom bathymetry. These formulae adapt earlier monostatic ... -
Signal and reverberation formulae including refraction
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2003/04)Because reverberation is an incoherent process it is possible to base realistic solutions on very simple flux theory. This report extends the closed-form signal and reverberation formulae of an earlier report [SACLANTCEN ... -
A study of the uncertainty in estimate seabed properties as a result of goeacoustic inversion algorithms
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 2003/10)This paper investigates the inherent uncertainty in estimated seabed properties derived from matched-field geoacoustic inversion algorithms. This algorithm-induced uncertainty must be considered when interpreting inversion ... -
Infrared detection of marine mammals
(NURC, 2005/12)An infrared (IR) binocular, designed for in-the-field military applications, was tested using in situ marine mammals during the Mar Ligure Joint Experiment 2003 (MLJX03) that took place in August-September 2003 onboard the ... -

(NURC, 2006/09)The NATO Marine Mammal Risk Mitigation project has as its goals the development of risk mitigation protocols, computer tools, and in-water devices to provide risk mitigation before sonar or other noisy experiments and naval ... -
The Ninth International Conference on Information Fusion (Fusion 2006) final conference report
(NURC, 2006/10)The 9th International Conference on Information Fusion (FUSION 2006) was held on 10-13 July 2006 in Florence, Italy. The FUSION conference series serves as the annual gathering and -
NATO Undersea Research Centre marine mammal risk mitigation rules and procedures
(NURC, 2008/12)The goals of the NATO Marine Mammal Risk Mitigation include the development of risk mitigation protocols, computer tools, and in-water devices to provide risk mitigation before sonar experiments so to avoid potential ... -
The Barny program: fourteen years of NURC-NRL collaboration
(NURC, 2009/05)Shallow ocean environments, with their rapid variability, short spatial scales and often intense fishing, pose a special challenge for physical oceanographic study. Since 1995, a series of collaborative programs between ... -

(NURC, 2009/11)The NATO Undersea Research Centre (NURC) Marine Mammal Risk Mitigation Rules and Procedures provides the policy and the procedures to scientific planners, Scientists-in-Charge (SIC), researchers and the Masters of NURC ... -
Waterside Security 2010 (WSS2010) conference: post conference report
(NURC, 2011/02)The 2nd International Conference on Waterside Security was hosted by NURC, Carrara, Italy, 3-5 November 2010. This report provides summary statistics of the conference, a summary of the workshops, remarks form the WSS2010 ... -
GLider Acoustics Sensing of Sediments (GLASS): experiments and data analysis
(CMRE, 2013/12)Seabed characteristics (geoacoustic properties and scattering strength) are critical parameters for sonar performance predictions. However, this bottom information is considered very difficult and expensive to achieve in ... -
