    摘要: A surface minelaying system that can be built up of ganged modules and rapidly mounted on any ship whose displacement permits it to carry mines in some quantity. This minelaying system is a modularized overhead conveyor system that can securely store heavy mines and safely release them overboard at short, predetermined intervals, even in high sea states. The system comprises a frame member, with first and second ends, that defines the longitudinal axis of the minelaying system. The frame member is preferably made up of a rail track braced by periodically spaced vertical and transverse connecting members. Mounting supports are provided for mounting the frame member to the ship. A drive roller and an idler roller are disposed in the first and second ends of the frame member; and an endless drive member is looped about the rollers. A drive means is operatively coupled to the drive roller. A plurality of carrier assemblies with grasping members for selectively grasping a mine are engaged at spaced locations to the endless drive member. The carrier assemblies have wheels that roll and are retained within the rail track. Mines are loaded and stored on the system and, when moved outboard the hull, released into the water. Alternative mechanisms are provided for releasing each mine at a predetermined point as the mine is translated beneath the frame member. In one embodiment, the mines are automatically disengaged from the carriers. The empty carrier assemblies are then moved by the endless drive member through a vertical turnaround in a looped rail system for an inverted overhead return to a loading site near the opposite end of the frame member. In another embodiment each mine is attached to an expendable carrier that is deployed along with the released mine.

    摘要: A method for ocean surface delivery of ordnance and clearing of explosive mines and obstacles from a navigable sea channel includes the step of providing quantities of ordnance adapted to survive impact and prolonged immersion in sea water and to arm in response to release from a mobile ocean surface vehicle and to pressure actuation upon submersion to a desired depth in sea water and then to detonate in response to receiving a preselected signal transmitted to the ordnance from a standoff location. The method also includes the step of delivering the quantities of ordnance from a mobile ocean surface vehicle toward multiple sites in a navigable sea channel containing obstacles and explosive mines therein so as to cause arming of the ordnance followed by impact thereof with the navigable sea channel and submersion and emplacement thereof at the multiple sites in the navigable sea channel. The ocean surface delivery method further includes the step of transmitting the preselected signal to and receiving the preselected signal by the emplaced armed ordnance so as to cause detonation thereof and the simultaneous synergistic destruction of the obstacles and explosive mines contained in the navigable sea channel. The method also includes the step of marking an amphibious path through the cleared navigable sea channel.

    摘要: An apparatus for and method of laying a minefield in open water uses a high speed air-cushion vehicle that transports substantial quantities of mines to a target area. It then deploys the mines while it is rapidly moving, d marks and records the location of each deployed mine with GPS equipment. Mines can be emplaced at speeds and rates much greater than conventional surface ships. The speed of high speed aircushion vehicle makes it less vulnerable to attack during operations, and it is less vulnerable to other mines it may encounter during a mission. The GPS on high speed air-cushion vehicle ensures an accurate and detailed record of location of the minefield. The high speed air-cushion vehicle has much greater lift capability than aircraft used in mining missions, and, therefore, can deliver a much larger payload per sortie (under all weather conditions) while creating the minefield. Mines can be emplaced much more accurately than an aircraft dropping them from altitude, (at least 100% increase in delivery precision). The high speed air-cushion vehicle running at normal operating speeds, has a low detectable signature and, due to its speed, is invulnerable to certain enemy mine functions. The unexpected benefit is accurate mining of enemy minefields, or areas beyond enemy minefields, for various expeditionary uses.

    摘要: An underwater weapons system having an encapsulated torpedo and an anchor assembly which may be planted in the water by a submarine, aircraft, or surface ship. Shortly after water-entry the anchor separates, leaving the encapsulated torpedo vertically moored at a predetermined depth. Detection equipment on the casing listens passively for a target, and upon target detection, an active transducer is activated to classify the potential target. Upon classification, the casing opens, releasing and activating a homing torpedo having self-contained target-seeking capabilities.
