A waterproof floatation case is provided for an outboard motor which is suitable for use during deployment for covert operations with an inflatable motor craft. The encased propulsion unit can be mounted without the need for removing the case and the two panels of the case butterflied between the motor and watercraft to permit full operation of the motor. A 2-way valve permits suction to be drawn down on the case evacuating excess air and corrosive fluids from the encased motor.

A power transmission system transmits power underwater between a power-transmitting device and a power-receiving device of which at least one is capable of moving freely underwater. In this power transmission system, the power-transmitting device and the power-receiving device are each provided with a resonance coil that performs the power transmission wirelessly underwater by means of magnetic field resonance. At least one of the power-transmitting device and the power-receiving device is provided with a balloon that internally houses the resonance coil of its own device.

The present invention comprises a plurality of UUVs, tethers and tethered devices. The devices that are tethered comprise explosive devices or acoustic devices. The UUV provides mobility and controllability for the tethers and the tethered devices. The tether is also used as a means to entangle target vessel's propeller. The entangled propeller's revolution moves the explosive device closer to the target vessel for denotation. The tether is made with high strength material whereby once entangled, it is difficult for the propeller itself or intervention to disentangle. The system has a detachable housing with fluid dynamic shape. The whole system is designed to submerge during operation. The system can be wirelessly controlled by a remote command center via satellite link, or by a nearby command center directly.

Embodiments described herein provide apparatus and method for stand-off deployment of UUVs utilizing self-directed projectiles that include guidance kits. One embodiment is a projectile that includes a guidance kit that directs the projectile in flight. The projectile further includes a shell and a hollow nose cone. The shell mates with the guidance kit and the nose cone couples with the shell. The nose cone includes an interior surface configured to house a UUV. The projectile further includes a controller that identifies a condition for deploying the UUV in flight, and detaches the nose cone from the shell in response to determining that the condition is satisfied.

A combined submersible vessel and unmanned aerial vehicle preferably includes a body structure, at least one wing structure, at least one vertical stabilizer structure, and at least one horizontal stabilizer structure. A propulsion system is coupled to the body structure and is configured to propel the flying submarine in both airborne flight and underwater operation. Preferably, the propulsion system includes a motor, a gearbox coupled to the motor and configured to receive power generated by the motor and provide variable output power, a drive shaft coupled to the gearbox and configured to transfer the variable output power provided by the gearbox, and a propeller coupled to the drive shaft and configured to accept power transferred to it from the drive shaft. The propeller is further configured to rotate and propel the flying submarine in both an airborne environment and in an underwater environment.

A manned submarine for underwater viewing and experience. A viewing window through which an outside view can be seen is disposed above the body of the submarine. The viewing window has an internal space and is open in the lower portion thereof. The propulsion systems provides a propelling force to the body. The ascending and descending system allows the manned submarine to ascend on the water or to descend under the water. The control box disposed at the forecastle of the body controls the operations of the propulsion systems, and the ascending and descending system. The viewing window is disposed above the crew room and is configured to allow water to enter the crew room except the internal space of the viewing window to allow the passengers to breathe underwater and provide a high level of leisure experience in addition to the visual viewing experience.
摘要:
An unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) is disclosed. The UUV includes a body and a propulsion system for propelling and orienting the UUV. The propulsion system has an inlet formed in the body that facilitates fluid being drawn into the UUV from outside the body. The propulsion system also has a duct in fluid communication with the inlet. The duct is adapted to direct the fluid along a flow path. The propulsion system further includes a pump operable with the duct to increase the velocity of the fluid. In addition, the propulsion system includes a nozzle in fluid communication with the duct to receive the fluid at the increased velocity. The nozzle is supported about a side of the body and adapted to moveably redirect fluid out of the UUV. The propulsion system provides multi-axis control of the UUV.
