摘要: A method comprising: providing an autonomous vehicle (AV) with a first estimated position of a target; directing the AV to travel toward the first estimated position at a constant velocity; receiving echo signals of transmitted sonar signals, the echo signals indicating a range and an azimuth of the target; determining a depth difference of the AV and the target based on the received echo signals, the depth difference being determined based on changes to the range and azimuth of the target over time; and in response to a depth difference existing, re-directing the AV toward a second estimated position of the target generated from the depth difference.

摘要: The present invention relates to a system for attaching a device to an object, comprising: an attachment device for attaching the device to an object, the attachment device having a trigger for triggering activation of the attachment device; a releasable coupling device for releasably coupling the attachment device to a deployment system. The releasable coupling device comprising: a housing; a trigger system, configured to trigger the attachment device trigger; and a retaining system, configured to releasably retain the attachment device. The releasable coupling device is configured such that: in a first configuration, the trigger system is in a disarmed state; in a second configuration, the trigger system is in an armed state, such that movement of the attachment device relative to the housing of the releasable coupling device activates the trigger of the attachment device; and in a third configuration, the retaining system releases the attachment device. The invention is particular of use in attaching an ordnance clearance charge to underwater ordnance. The invention further relates to an unmanned underwater vehicle comprising such an attaching system.

摘要: Mine neutralization provides for radio control of a small boat having associated therewith: a projection mounted onto the boat and pointing forward; a primary magnet; a housing holding the primary magnet and joined at the front end of the projection; a fluid-dynamically shaped explosive device detachably attached underneath the boat; at least one secondary magnet affixed to the explosive device; and, a rope or cable tautly connected at its upper end to the primary magnet and at its lower end to the explosive device. The boat journeys near a floating mine to bring about magnetic interaction between the primary magnet and the mine. The primary magnet magnetically attaches to the mine, and a pulling force is exerted on the explosive device. The explosive device detaches from the boat, moves toward the mine, and magnetically attaches (via at least one secondary magnet) to the mine.

摘要: The present disclosure provides a method for clearing weapons that have been sunk in waterways using a weapon clearance appliance. The weapon clearance appliance comprises means for detachable connection to an unmanned underwater vehicle, so that the underwater vehicle is a safe distance away when the weapon is detonated. The volume of the weapon clearance appliance is chosen such that the buoyancy force which acts on the weapon clearance appliance under water compensates for the force of gravity acting on the weapon clearance appliance. Therefore, the weapon clearance appliance has neutral buoyancy, as a result of which, after the weapon clearance appliance has been released from the underwater vehicle, there is no need to retrim the underwater vehicle. Therefore, there is no need for trimming devices on the underwater vehicle.

摘要: An apparatus for towing behind an underwater vehicle has a body and a yoke pivotally connected to the body at a pivot point and having a tether remote from the pivot point by which the apparatus us towed. The yoke has wings which generate a resultant force on the body when the apparatus is towed. By varying the orientation of the yoke relative to the body, the magnitude of the resultant force may be varied. The resultant force tends to reduce the displacement of the tether relative to the pivot point in at least one plane, thereby generating a force to counter the buoyancy of the apparatus, and so stabilize the apparatus when it is being towed.

摘要: There is disclosed a marine vessel which is particularly suited for mine hunting operations or the like because of improved survivability characteristics in the presence of multi-directed underwater transmitted excessive shock or vibration forces, such as are generated by a nearby exploding mine or the like. The ship is of the propeller driven type having a propeller shaft driving engine and gearbox unit mounted inboard of the vessel hull upon a rigid sled-like platform which in turn is resiliently supported relative to rigid structure of the vessel by spring means sandwiched therebetween. The spring means are of such nature as to resiliently yield in response to excessive compression, tension, shear or roll forces encountered from any direction. The spring means comprises an array of spaced apart spring devices, and back-up blocks of non-resilient compression-deformable material are provided in association therewith.

摘要: An underwater disruptor comprises a water tight chamber formed by a modified housing, a modified breech, and a modified backplate sealed together by a plurality of O-rings. The underwater disruptor is configured to discharge a firing pin to shoot a water bullet from the modified barrel at a specific underwater explosive threat responsive to receiving a fire command from a remote operator. The water bullet is formed from water ejected from the barrel due to the discharge. The underwater ROV physically hosts the underwater disruptor and is configured to provide video feedback during underwater travel remotely to the specific underwater explosive and to activate shooting of the water bullet responsive to the fire command.

摘要: An impact initiated attachment device for attachment to a target, comprises a housing having a front face which abuts against the target in use, one or more fasteners, a drive mechanism for driving the fasteners(s) from a first position within the housing to a second position protruding from the front face of the housing, and a trigger mechanism for triggering activation of the drive mechanism comprising a trigger extending from the front face of the housing. The device is particularly useful in Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and demolition for attaching one or more disrupters to a target for disposal.
