The Autonomous Surface / Sub-surface Survey System (ASSSS) research program combines long endurance autonomous surface vessels (ASVs) and long endurance autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to create an integrated cooperative navigation system effectively transforming the capabilities and accuracy of AUV survey. ASV is leading the project, working alongside National Oceanography Centre, a world leading...
Radar surveillance forms the foundation of many security strategies by providing enhanced threat awareness. For the security missions of the post 9/11 world, conventional radar lacks the connectivity, data persistence and user application infrastructure to be fully effective. With limited data persistence, there are only a few standard target data presentations or information products that serve to...
The installation of a protection system can provide protection by either deterring or stopping an attacker. Both modes of effectiveness-deterring and stopping-are uncertain. Some have guessed that deterrence plays a much bigger role than stopping force. The force of deterrence should therefore be of considerable interest, especially if its effect could be estimated and incorporated into a larger risk...
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are useful and necessary tools for modern oceanographic data collection. The Naval Oceanographic Office (NAVOCEANO) Ocean Projects Department has been successfully applying AUV technology since 1997. NAVOCEANO's entry into the large AUV realm was initiated with the transfer of a vehicle developed and tested at Draper Labs in 1997, named Lazarus. NAVOCEANO also...
Technology can be a formidable multiplier when used as a tool in accomplishing a goal or task especially during its initial deployment as operators become acclimated to using it. The uncertainties, though, in its use and the information it provides can provide a distorted picture of an emerging situation. This is especially true in the military environment when new technologies for supporting decision...
