Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an underwater vehicle with an optical radiation system.
  • submarines The classic operational profile of submarines has been the location and combat of high-quality enemy over- and underwater targets, ie enemy ships and submarines.
  • the intended for this mission submarine armaments are primarily torpedoes, which are invariably only to combat sea targets.
  • submarines today only have missile systems in which a missile is ejected hydraulically or pneumatically from a corresponding container, then brought to the surface with boosters and started there.
  • the self-defense submarines must be equipped with weapon systems that allow the crew, even without having to emerge, rapid defenses against overwater attacks, in particular also in the zenith area of the submarine.
  • submarines it is also desirable for submarines to have such resources available in such covert operations, such as the fight against piracy, smuggling, terrorism or other asymmetric threats, that allow for appropriate deployment of weapons without the need for torpedo or small targets Missiles must be attacked from the submarine, which usually does not seem appropriate and cost reasons is not justifiable.
  • the EP 1 816 761 A2 shows and describes a laser weapon system aboard a submarine, wherein the laser beam from the submarine is directed to a previously launched by the submarine unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), which is provided with a deflection mirror and directs this laser beam to a target object.
  • UAV unmanned aerial vehicle
  • the submarine must be at the water surface.
  • the US 4,021,661 A discloses a communication system for submarines in which an extendable from the submarine mast is provided at the upper end with an optical transmitting / receiving device, which can be brought to the water surface and by means of an optical communication upwards in the direction of the submarine flying aircraft can be done with a corresponding transmitting / receiving device of the aircraft.
  • the transmitting / receiving device on the mast of the submarine can also carry out the communication, if it remains just below the water surface.
  • the radiation generator of this communication system is provided inside the submarine, and the transmission of the low radiant energy required for the communication to the radiation emission device provided on the tower takes place via an optical cable.
  • the US 2008/0029015 A1 shows and describes a connected via an optical cable with a submarine buoy that serves to the water surface be located sensors and connect them via a data link connection through the optical cable with the submerged submarine.
  • the US 5,677,506 A shows and describes a submarine with an extendable tower, which is equipped with a remote-controlled firearm and target sensors.
  • This extendable tower is designed to allow the submarine crew to fight targets with firearms from a submerged position.
  • a LIDAR target acquisition and tracking system At the top of the extendable tower is a LIDAR target acquisition and tracking system.
  • Object of the present invention is therefore to provide an underwater vehicle with a weapon system, which is ready to use quickly in defense of the underwater vehicle and which also can be used as an offensive weapon against smaller targets on the water or on land from submerged submersible.
  • the optical radiation active system of this underwater vehicle has a radiation generator for generating high-energy radiation, a radiation emission device for the high-energy radiation and a radiation transmission device for the high-energy radiation connecting the radiation generator with the radiation emission device.
  • the radiation generator is provided on or in the underwater vehicle and the radiation emission device can be brought from the underwater vehicle to the water surface and positioned there.
  • the radiation generator generates high-energy laser radiation, preferably in the infrared range.
  • the radiation energy in submerged submerged vehicle can be emitted by the surface located on the water emission emitter without the underwater vehicle must emerge.
  • a beam weapon is low in signature, so that the weapon is not or only extremely difficult to detect before and after the emission of the radiation.
  • the emission of the radiation from the radiation emission device is noise-free, so that the radiation source is acoustically not locate.
  • an underwater vehicle equipped with such an optical radiation system thus receives completely new self-defense capabilities and new tactical deployment capabilities.
  • the optical radiation control system provided in the underwater vehicle according to the invention can be used without loss of time, ie immediately after detection of a threat.
  • takeoff preparations of a missile or its transfer to the water surface from another submersible require a certain amount of time. This can also be detected automatically by means of sensors. This quick response capability can give valuable time to assess the situation and the timing of the latest possible deployment, even against rapidly moving targets, is shifting further into the future.
  • optical radiation systems such as shooting ability as long as electrical energy is present (so-called "deep magazine”), the loss of ammunition along with the associated supply / disposal logistics, the lack of need to provide ammunition security, pinpoint, scalable and immediate verifiable effect and the minimum cost per shot are also in the underwater vehicle according to the invention to bear.
  • An advantageous embodiment of the underwater vehicle according to the invention is characterized in that the underwater vehicle is equipped with at least one extendable mast and that the radiation emission device is provided in the region of the free end of the extendable mast.
  • the radiation emission device can be brought to the water surface quickly and without great delay by means of the mast. Also, a complete emergence of the underwater vehicle for this is not required.

It does not require its own drive for the subsidiary vehicle, as this is pulled on the mechanical connection device, for example on trailing cable behind the underwater vehicle. It is particularly advantageous if the subsidiary vehicle is provided with a stabilization platform on which the radiation emission device is arranged. By means of this stabilized platform, the radiation emission device is stabilized against the self-movement of the floating subsidiary vehicle, so that a reliable alignment with a target is made possible.
  • This stabilization can be carried out by integrating a position-detecting orientation system into the subsidiary vehicle, it being possible to use the navigation devices which are generally present anyway for the coarse alignment of the radiation direction for the position-recognizing orientation.
