About
Mirko Stifani is a leading researcher in the field of maritime unmanned systems, with a primary focus on interoperability, autonomous operations, and acoustic sensing for naval applications. His work addresses the critical challenge of enabling seamless cooperation between unmanned surface and underwater vehicles, a key enabler for complex multi-domain missions. Stifani’s major contribution is his pioneering research on practical interoperability, demonstrated through the first in-field experimentation of heterogeneous unmanned maritime vehicles, as detailed in his highly cited 2020 review. This work, with 25 citations, has become a foundational reference for the community. He has also advanced the use of remote passive acoustic barriers for maritime security, integrating unmanned systems to create persistent, autonomous surveillance networks. His notable achievements include successful field trials during the prestigious REPMUS-21 exercises, where he validated communication architectures that balance autonomous decision-making with human oversight. Stifani’s research is instrumental in transitioning unmanned maritime systems from experimental platforms to operational assets, directly impacting naval defense, oceanography, and offshore industries.
