Stand-off mine countermeasure (MCM) operations with unmanned systems frequently require user involvement for the interpretation of image data, for classification and identification, and for decision-making during mine disposal. As the transfer of image data usually requires tethering, this leads to cumbersome operating procedures. We have...

For underwater acoustic modems to operate in a time-varying environment, in-mission adaptation is desirable. A physical layer has been designed that supports mechanisms for ad-hoc configuration changes based on (in-situ and indirectly obtained) channel and noise conditions. Coded preambles are used to instruct the receiver of a configuration...

It is a persistent misunderstanding that underwater acoustic communication at short range is always easier than at long range. Same for (quasi) stationary configurations being always easier than dynamic ones. This paper gives examples of high-rate links in very shallow water at several kilometres distance, as well as difficult communication...

The muons produced by cosmic ray interactions in the upper atmosphere constitute the most abundant signal for underwater neutrino detectors such as KM3NeT (the Cubic Kilometre Neutrino Telescope), which is currently being deployed in the Mediterranean Sea at two distinct locations. Situated at different depths, the KM3NeT/ARCA and KM3NeT/ORCA...

Regulations for underwater anthropogenic noise are typically formulated in terms of peak sound pressure, root-mean-square sound pressure, and (weighted or unweighted) sound exposure. Sound effect studies on humans and other terrestrial mammals suggest that in addition to these metrics, the impulsiveness of sound (often quantified by its kurtosis...

There are situations in which divers need to find their way to an unknown location within acoustic communication range as quickly as possible without broadcasting additional energy besides that of already transmitted acoustic communi cation signals, e.g., for acoustic covertness or saving battery life. For these situations, a prototype of a...

To understand the consequences of underwater noise exposure for cetaceans, there is a need for assessments of behavioural responses over increased spatial and temporal scales. Bottom-moored acoustic recorders and satellite tags provide such long-term and large spatial coverage of behaviour compared to short-duration acoustic-recording tags....

In this paper, the European Defence Agency (EDA)project SALSA is presented. In SALSA, which stands for Smart Adaptive Long- and Short-range Acoustic network, five European navies have united to create a common protocol stack for adaptive underwater acoustic communication and cognitive underwater networking. Within four years, the SALSA stack...

The Royal Netherlands Navy operates a low-frequency active sonar consisting of a combination of a towed sonar source and receiver array in order to detect and classify objects underwater. The operation involves transmitting high power underwater sound towards an object and detecting the echo reflected by the object. Operating a towed source at...

For enabling efficient operation of untethered underwater vehicles, error-free underwater communication of command-and-control and telemetry data is a necessity. In contrast, the communication requirements for the sensor data of these vehicles are often less stringent, i.e., a few bad pixels in a SONAR image might be tolerated. To maximize...

In this paper, Mine Counter-Measures (MCM) operations with multiple cooperative Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) are examined within the Distributed Constraint optimization Problem (DCOP) framework. The goal of an MCM-operation is to search for mines and mine-like objects within a predetermined area so that ships can pass the area through a...

For remote deployment of unmanned/autonomous underwater vehicles that, for reasons of size, power usage and cost, communicate acoustically in relatively high frequency bands, a backbone underwater acoustic network needs to support multiple frequency bands with the communication streams being able to cross over between bands as required. This...

A modelling approach is described in which time-domain underwater-acoustic source functions are generated using a model that predicts the motion of air-bubbles generated by mini-airguns operated at various pressures. These time-series are Fourier-transformed to produce frequency-domain descriptions of the source. These are combined with complex...

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) offer an automated solution for the collection of environmental data underwater. While they provide an effective solution in scenarios where their task is limited to basic sensor data collection, supervisory control by an operator is still needed to make more complicated decisions. Because raw data of camera...

Thecontributionofshippingnoisetothebackground noise in the seas can be estimated by shipping noise maps. Noise maps can be made by applying appropriate modeling tools for underwater sound propagation and ship source levels to information on the acoustic environment and on the ship traffic in the area of the map. The development of reliable source...

In this paper we present the NECSAVE system which allows the control of heterogeneous unmanned vehicles under challenging environments by a single human operator by providing it with the desired highlevel objectives. The described software stack takes care of decomposing the high-level objectives into assignable tasks and (re)distributing the...

A concept for underwater machinery noise mitigation of future civil and military ships is the application of a common deck structure, supporting multiple machines, which is installed on resilient mounts on the ship's foundation structure. TNO is addressing the availability and testing of tools to be able to set realistic targets for the radiated...

Acoustic underwater communication is an enabler for the use of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). AUVs can operate in acoustically challenging environments, e.g., near offshore platforms and in harbours. To realize robust underwater communication in such environments, the propagation conditions need to be properly understood. In this paper,...

Flexible/adaptive acoustic modems that are reprogrammable/reconfigurable at all layers of the communication stack, either by a user or by means of autonomous decisions, are considered as an important enabler for interoperability and cognitive networking in the underwater domain. In this paper, we review the existing literature on software...
