The ramp has a free end (112), the vertical position of which varies between a submerged position, in which said end is immersed in the water, and an above-water position, in which the ramp is in horizontal position. The system also comprises buoyancy means which a enables the free end to float on or near the surface of the water when the ramp is lowered. The bottom of the hinged ramp also has an outer surface configured such as to form a dry dock having a V-shaped or W-shaped cross-section, and a receiving and gui­ ding means (13) comprising receiving a device configured such as to receive the end of the vehicle and to remain in contact with the vehicle during the launch and retrieval operations, the receiving device being driven with the vehicle by the towing means. The receiving device comprises vertical pro tec - tion elements (131) intended for providing frontal bearing a for wings of the vehicle when the end thereof is inserted in the receiving device, the frontal bearing thus provided making it possible to contribute to keeping the vehicle aligned with the ramp. (57) Abrege : [Suite sur la page suivante] WO 2013/178792 A11 lllll llllllll II llllll III lllll lllll lllll III III III lllll lllll llll llll lllll lllll lllllll llll llll L'invention est un systeme pour effectuer la mise a l'eau la recuperation automatique, et sans intervention humaine, d'engins (15) marins ou sous-marins depuis un navire porteur (10) qui reste en mouvement pour limiter l'amplitude des mouvements de tangage et de roulis auquel il est soumis. Le systeme comporte une rampe (11) articulee inclinable comportant un fond (113) et des bords (114, 115), et des moyens de traction (14, 16) permettant de controler le glissement de I'engin (15) le long de la rampe (11) lors de la mise a l'eau et de hisser I'engin (15) le long de la rampe (11) lors de la recuperation. La rampe presente une extremite libre (112) dont la position en hauteur varie entre une position immergee ou elle est plongee dans l'eau et une position emergee pour la- quelle la rampe se trouve en position horizontale. Le systeme comporte egalement des moyens de flottabilite permettant que l'ex- tremite libre de la rampe flotte en surface ou a proximite de la surface de l'eau lorsque la rampe est abaissee. Le fond de la rampe articulee presente en outre une face externe configuree pour former un carenage presentant un profil en coupe en forme de V ou de W et des moyens d'accueil (13) et de guidage comportant un dispositif d'accueil configure pour accueillir l'extremite de I'engin et rester en contact avec I'engin pendant les operations de mise l'eau a et de recuperation, le dispositif d'accueil etant entraine avec I'engin par les moyens de traction. Le dispositif d'accueil comporte des elements de protection verticaux (131) destines offrir a un appui frontal a des ailes de I'engin lorsque son extremite est engagee dans le dispositif d'accueil, l'appui frontal ainsi realise per­ mettant de contribuer au maintien de I'engin dans l'axe de la rampe.
