About
Francesco Cannarsa is a leading researcher in maritime unmanned systems, with a focus on passive acoustic sensing and autonomous mission architectures. His work addresses the critical trade-off between autonomous capability and human oversight in Maritime Unmanned Systems (MUS), developing communication frameworks that enable real-time decision-sharing during complex naval operations. Cannarsa’s most cited study, "Remote Passive Acoustic Barrier with Maritime Unmanned Systems: Preliminary Tests During REPMUS-21," demonstrates his pioneering integration of passive acoustic barriers with unmanned platforms for underwater surveillance, achieving 2 citations since 2022. This work, validated through NATO’s REPMUS-21 exercises, showcases his contributions to enhancing maritime domain awareness through low-cost, scalable sensor networks. Cannarsa’s research bridges theoretical control systems with practical field trials, offering solutions for anti-submarine warfare and environmental monitoring. His achievements include advancing the operational readiness of autonomous vessels while maintaining human-in-the-loop safety protocols—a cornerstone for future naval autonomy. For students and researchers, Cannarsa’s work exemplifies how acoustic engineering and unmanned systems converge to reshape maritime security.
