Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method of destroying an underwater object.
  • the invention relates more particularly to a method of destroying a bottom mine or a mooring mine.
  • the known methods for destroying a bottom submarine mine include a step of detecting and / or identifying the mine and a step of destroying the mine by means of a high explosive charge, for example order of 50 to 100 kg, deposited at a distance of a few meters from the mine to be destroyed by means of an underwater vessel, generally remotely piloted.
  • Orin mines are destroyed by a similar method of detection and / or identification which is followed by a destruction step consisting in hanging on the orin a pyrotechnic shear which is put in place by means of a submarine vessel. remote-controlled or wire-guided sailor to cut the rope and bring the mine to the surface where it is destroyed.
  • the pyrotechnic actuation of the shears is caused by remote control from the surface vessel.
  • Known destruction techniques may also not be used for hunting underground mines which, comprising insensitive explosives, do not detonate by influence.
  • Document EP-A-0.547.937 has already proposed a method for destroying an underwater object, such as, for example, a bottom mine or a mooring mine, which includes a detection step and / or identification of the object comprising the implementation of means for detecting and / or identifying the object at a distance greater than a determined minimum distance known as safety, and a step of destroying the object to using a pyrotechnic charge, the explosion of which causes, for example, the explosion or the fragmentation of the mine, consisting in implementing a charge which approaches the object from an underwater intermediate equipment previously put in place on the bottom, then cause the charge to explode.
  • Intermediate equipment can be installed on the bottom from an intermediate submarine vehicle or directly from a surface vessel or aircraft.
  • the object of the present invention is to propose an improvement of this process which makes it possible to ensure with even more precision the approach to the object to be destroyed. by the charge, whether it is a bottom mine or a mooring mine with the possibility, in the latter case, of docking the mooring mine as a bottom mine and destroying it by explosion in order to avoid, as happens in certain cases, that the use of a pyrotechnic shear has the effect of only breaking the rope without destroying the mine which then rises to the surface.
  • the invention provides a method of destruction of the type mentioned above, characterized in that the load is carried by a machine which is implemented from the intermediate equipment to which it is connected by a connecting cable, the length is controlled to control the movements of the machine.
  • FIGS. 1 and 2 show schematically a surface vessel VS, which is for example a mine hunter whose mission is to destroy a bottom mine MF placed on the bottom F.
  • the surface pilot ship remotely, for example by wire guidance by means of a piloting cable CP, an intermediate submarine vehicle VSM which removably carries a destruction unit UD.
  • the destruction unit comprises a cradle or chassis which constitutes an intermediate equipment EF intended to be placed on the bottom F by the underwater vehicle VSM at a safe distance from the MF underground mine.
  • the intermediate bottom equipment EF carries, on the one hand, a load carrying device EPC and a coil B.
  • the coil B which is carried by the cradle of the bottom intermediate equipment EF allows the unwinding, during the descent phase of the underwater vehicle VSM, of a remote control cable CT which therefore connects the destruction unit to the surface vessel which is provided with a control and guidance station for the EPC load-carrying vehicle.
  • the EPC load carrier comprises the load C and propulsion means shown schematically in the form of PO propellants which allow the self-propulsion of the carrier EPC charge.
  • the load carrying machine comprises a reel T on which is surrounded a mechanical connection cable CL which, as can be seen in particular in FIG. 3, connects the load carrying machine EPC to the cradle constituting the bottom equipment EF which is an anchor point for the connecting cable.
  • the invention provides for connecting the CT transmission cable, on the edge side, to an extension cable which is wound and unwound from a reel located on board the mine hunter.
  • connection cable CL from the reel T and possibly its winding in the case where the reel is motorized to constitute a winch, are controlled from a control station located for example on board the surface vessel VS to which the EPC load carrier is connected by the remote control cable CT which extends from the coil B in the direction of the EPC load carrier, being for example intimately combined with the cable CL link.
  • the load-carrying device is a device with positive buoyancy towards the surface.
  • the positive buoyancy of the machine combined with the CL connecting cable fixed on the EF equipment placed on the bottom and with the reel used as a brake, allow to control with a better precision the vertical displacements and consequently the positioning while immersing the EPC vehicle, while not requiring energy for the vertical movement of the EPC vehicle.
  • connection cable CL controlled from the surface vessel VS
  • the altitude of the load-carrying device EPC which tends to go up towards the surface when the length of the connecting cable CL increases, and vice versa.
  • the PO propellant thrusters also make it possible, in association with positive buoyancy, to constitute a set of means for the self-propulsion of the load-carrying vehicle EPC which make it possible to ensure with great precision its approach, and possibly its docking the MF underground mine.
  • MD detection means visual and / or acoustic, which equip the EPC load carrier and which are connected to the control station by channels reserved for this purpose in the remote control cable.
  • the approach and the docking of the ruddy mine can be facilitated by means of guide means MG which come into place automatically on the rut O of the ruddy mine MO, during a first phase and thanks in particular to the use of orientable thrusters PO, these guide means MG then making it possible, by simple unwinding of the connection cable CL, to cause the load carrier EPC to rise up along Orin O until it comes to land at MO Oren Mine to cause its destruction.
  • the canes can be destroyed directly without having to cut the ores, which is both more effective and safer than known techniques.
  • the intermediate equipment EF instead of being previously placed on the bottom, is itself hooked to the rope of the rope mine by the underwater vehicle VSM, which then moves away to be recovered on the surface by the mine hunter, and the EPC load-carrying vehicle is controlled from the mine hunter to go up along the rope to near the mine, from the intermediate equipment EF hung on the orin.
  • the unwinding of the transmission cable CT from the coil B is done only during the ascent phase of the underwater vehicle VSM which returns to the surface vessel to allow the connection of the end of the cable of remote control at the control station on board the surface vessel.
  • the intermediate equipment placed on the bottom comprises propulsion means to allow its autonomous movements on the bottom in order to further improve the precision during the approach phase of the mine. or from the sea mine.
  • orientable thrusters can possibly throw the charge against the mine to cause the charge to explode automatically.
  • the coil which allows the winding of the remote control cable is arranged on board the surface vessel and that the other end of the control cable is connected to the destruction unit and to the machine EPC charge carrier.
  • the detection means MD carried by the load-carrying vehicle EPC comprise a camera
  • this servo-control which can be carried out both in positioning and in distance.
