Abstract: A coupling device for recovering an unmanned ship includes: a coupling unit, which is lifted and lowered by being connected to a crane provided in a mother ship; an accommodation unit provided in the unmanned ship, and having a vertically communicating coupling hole; a guide unit performing guiding such that the coupling unit is coupled to the accommodation unit, and including a towing line formed to be long, and a winch connected to the other side of the towing line so as to selectively wind or unwind the towing line; and a control unit including a sensing part for sensing the tension applied to the towing line by the driving of the winch, and a control part for lowering the coupling unit connected to the crane, if the intensity of the tension sensed by the sensing part is a preset value or higher.

Abstract: An unmanned vessel having a coupling apparatus includes: a heaving line launcher, which is provided on one side of the bow of the unmanned vessel; a coupling apparatus, which is provided at the center of gravity of the unmanned vessel and is coupled to a coupling member of a crane provided on a mother vessel; a first winch, which is provided on at least one side of either the bow or stern of the unmanned vessel, a first tow line being wounded around the same; and a second winch around which a second tow line, which passes one side of the coupling apparatus, is wound.
