Abstract

PURPOSE:To increase the activity range of a mother ship and an unmanned underwater machine by connecting the unmanned underwater machine for under- sea working, by a cable, to a buoy provided with an antenna and a transmitter- receiver, etc., so as to set up radio communication between the motor ship and the buoy. CONSTITUTION:A mother ship 1 is equipped with a controller 2 having a transmitter-receiver, a landing-lifting device 3 and an antenna 4. Meanwhile, a buoy 5 and an unmanned under water machine 6 are connected to each other by a cable 7. This buoy 5 is equipped with a reel 8 for the cable, a transmitter- receiver 9, a battery 10 and an antenna 4'. Communication between the buoy 5 and the controller 2 is conducted by radio communication between antennas 4 and 4'. Therefore, communication between the mother ship 1 and the unmanned underwater machine is conducted by radio so that it becomes easy to steer the mother ship 1 and also it is possible to remarkably increase the activity range of the unmanned underwater machine 6.

1) While the unmanned underwater vehicle is carrying out its mission, the mother ship may be swept away by the influence of currents or winds. At this time, the mother ship must be maneuvered to move to the appropriate location. Maneuvering the mother ship is generally difficult unless it is a special dedicated support mother ship equipped with a position-holding device, etc., and in the worst case scenario, the cable may be severed.

2)制御用の索が母船の動揺の影響を受け、索に過大な
力が加わり、無人潜水機の水中行動範囲が制限される。
2) The control cable is affected by the movement of the mother ship, and excessive force is applied to the cable, limiting the underwater range of the unmanned underwater vehicle.

3)無人潜水機潜降の際に潮流及び母船の動揺の影響を

3) If the unmanned underwater vehicle is affected by the current and the movement of the mother ship when descending, the amount of cable that is required to be drawn out before the unmanned underwater vehicle reaches its target location will increase.

4)無人潜水機着水潜降前に索が船底若しくは船体にか
