Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method and a submarine which enables a group of divers to be dropped quickly under water.
  • the process of ejecting a diver under water is comparatively slow.
  • the lock must be filled with air, connected to the inside of the pressure hull, the diver can enter. Then the sluice is flooded, whereby a corresponding pressure equalization at the diver may have to be taken into account.
  • the lock is then opened to the outside and the diver can swim freely. If this procedure is carried out for a whole group, the first diver is in the water for a comparatively long time, which reduces the air that is breathed and can possibly lead to hypothermia.
  • the submarine can also appear. Then the group can leave the submarine comparatively quickly. However, this leads to a significantly increased probability of detection and is not compatible with the goal of submerged shipments of special units.
  • the object of the invention is to provide a method and a submarine with which a group of divers can be dropped underwater and with only a minimal stay of the submarine in the launching area.
  • the method according to the invention for launching a group of divers from a submersible with a pressure body and an outer shell comprises the following steps:
  • step b) discharging the divers out of the pressure body through a lock into a water-flowed waiting area during step a), the lock being arranged between the pressure body and the area between the pressure body and the outer shell, the waiting area being arranged between the pressure body and the outer shell is
  • flow through water means that this area is connected to the surrounding water, so that there is a pressure equalization between the area through which water flows and the surroundings.
  • a region through which water flows is preferably flooded by the connections to the environment when immersed.
  • the divers are protected from the current within the waiting area.
  • the waiting area is particularly preferably arranged in the interior of the tower. This allows divers to be diverted during the journey. Since all divers are already in the water when they reach the drop-off area and there is no need to carry out any more smuggling, the drop-off can then take place very quickly, since only one hatch has to be opened in the outer skin of the submarine, through which the divers can move faster Follow the waiting area into which the water surrounding the submarine can leave. There is no longer any need to operate a lock. This minimizes the length of stay and the risk of reconnaissance of the submarine in the drop-off area.
  • the drop-off area is the place where the divers are dropped from the submarine.
  • the drop-off area is therefore the geographic target point that the divers are supposed to leave the submarine for their mission, the drop-off area usually having a certain tolerance for errors with respect to an exact point, which results in an area.
  • the settling area can therefore be, for example, an area around a geographical target point with a radius of half, a quarter or a tenth of a nautical mile.
  • the divers After weaning, the divers carry out their mission (usually swimming) regardless of the submarine.
  • the submarine During the launch, the submarine is generally at a standstill or in very little movement so that all divers can start the mission as close as possible.
  • the drop-off area is usually close to the actual destination of the divers, the submarine in the drop-off area is also at greatest risk of detection. Added to this is the fact that stopping and stopping means that there is practically no maneuverability in an attack without endangering the divers.
  • the time that the submarine is in the drop zone is therefore the time of the greatest threat. This time is reduced by the method according to the invention.
  • the submarine while the submarine is moving to the drop-off area in step a), it is not yet in the drop-off area, on the other hand, the submarine can travel and can therefore carry out maneuvers and maneuver in the event of a sudden threat.
  • the trip to the settling area in step a) is generally carried out in order to avoid noise and thus to minimize the probability of discovery in creep speed, that is to say at low speed, for example at 1 to 4 knots.
  • the submarine is not just in the drop-off area, but only on the way there.
  • the propulsion is stopped and the submarine comes to a (largely) standstill. Without a disturbing current due to the submarine traveling, all divers can now quickly get out of the waiting area into the open with full physical strength for the task. This will make the Waiting time of the submarine in the drop-off area is reduced to an absolute minimum, since time-consuming lock operations are dispensed with. Since the length of stay of the submarine in the settling area is thus minimized after reaching the drop-off area until it leaves the sales area, the risk to the submarine is also minimized.
  • the waiting area is therefore an area which is flowed through by water but is protected from the flow.
  • a current is generated by the submarine in any case. This flow would have two effects.
  • divers could be aborted, on the other hand the current also has a direct negative effect on the divers.
  • An example of this is the increased heat dissipation caused by a flow, and another example is the effort required to hold on against such a flow. This can lead to the exhaustion of the divers and drain the forces that are needed for the actual use.
  • the divers are supplied with breathing air in the waiting area after being discharged.
  • the supply can take place via a fixed device or via additional breathing air devices.
  • the fixed facility has the advantage that it has direct access to the large stocks of the submarine.
  • additional breathing air devices is preferred. These can be open, semi-closed or closed systems. Closed systems have the advantage that there are no bubbles that increase the detectability of the submarine. Open systems have the advantage that they carry a larger air supply more easily and with the same size.
  • An additional breathing air device is preferably provided for each diver.
  • Breathing air, also called breathing gas, in the sense of the invention includes all gas mixtures that can be used for breathing. In addition to compressed air, there are also mixtures with noble gases and mixtures with an increased oxygen content. Some known gas mixtures are known for example under the names Nitrox, Trimix, Triox, Heliair, Heliox, Neox.
  • the divers are supplied with electrical energy for heating in the waiting area after being discharged.
  • the electrical energy is used in particular for heating in order to counteract hypothermia.
  • the supply of electrical energy can also take place centrally via the vehicle electrical system or separately, for example in the form of battery packs. If a central supply is provided, it can preferably be switched from the inside of the pressure body.
  • the advantage of using battery packs is that they can be removed. This means that they can only be installed for a planned use. This reduces the contact time, especially for the electrical connections with the water.
  • the divers can communicate with the interior of the pressure body in the waiting area after being discharged via a communication connection.
  • the communication channel can be designed, for example, as a unidirectional or bidirectional voice connection.
  • the communication connection can be connected to a communication device carried by divers.
  • an installed communication device can also be present in the waiting area.
  • the installed communication device can be a display device, particularly preferably with a manual input device.
  • At least one piece of equipment for the divers is supplied with energy in the waiting area.
  • Energy is preferably provided electrically, hydraulically and / or pneumatically.
  • the submarine reduces its journey to drop the divers out of the waiting area.
  • the invention in a further aspect, relates to a submarine, the submarine having a pressure hull and a tower.
  • the submarine has a lock, the lock having a first access from the pressure body and a second access to the interior of the tower.
  • the interior of the tower has a waiting area for divers, the waiting area being flooded with water.
  • a breathing air supply is arranged in the waiting area.
  • the supply can take place via a fixed device or via additional breathing air devices.
  • the fixed facility has the advantage that it has direct access to the large stocks of the submarine.
  • additional breathing air devices is preferred.
  • These can be open, semi-closed or closed systems. Closed systems have the advantage that there are no bubbles that increase the detectability of the submarine. Open systems have the advantage that they carry a larger air supply more easily and with the same size.
  • the additional breathing air devices are preferably attached to the submarine and are not carried by the diver when they are released or set down.
  • the waiting area has connections for heating divers.
  • the electrical energy is used in particular for heating in order to counteract hypothermia.
  • the supply of electrical energy can also take place centrally via the vehicle electrical system or separately, for example in the form of battery packs. If a central supply is provided, it can preferably be switched from the inside of the pressure body.

  • the waiting area has communication connections.
  • the communication channel can be, for example, as unidirectional or bidirectional voice connection.
  • a communication device can also be provided, for example and in particular a display, via which current information can be made available to the divers. This allows the divers' mission to be adapted to current changes until just before they are discontinued.
  • the waiting area has at least one first illuminant and / or at least one first optical sensor, preferably at least one first illuminant and at least one first optical sensor.
  • the first illuminant and the first optical sensor are preferably matched to one another. In particular, this means that the crew can see inside the pressure hull how the removal process works or whether problems occur in the waiting area.
  • the at least one first lamp can be dimmed.
  • the at least one first illuminant emits in a wavelength range which has a short range under water and thus does not change the detection probability as far as possible.
  • the at least one first optical sensor is a camera which transmits an image of the waiting area into the pressure body of the submarine.
  • the camera can be designed as a monochrome camera in order to make do with a particularly small amount of light.
  • the at least one first illuminant and the at least one first optical sensor can emit or be sensitive, particularly preferably in the range from 800 to 1100 nm or in the range from 1600 to 1800 nm.
  • the advantage in the near infrared range is that the absorption in water is such that illumination at short distances is possible, but the range is reduced due to the increased absorption.
  • the waiting area has at least a first stowage area, in which equipment items for the divers can be stowed until they are set down.
  • the waiting area has safety devices for the divers. The divers can use the safety devices to temporarily protect themselves against external forces and do not have to actively compensate for them themselves. Safety devices can be holding lines, preferably with fastening means, foot straps and / or holding brackets. In one embodiment, the securing devices can be folded in or removed.
