Description

The invention relates to the field of marine technology and is intended for the implementation of radio communication between the submarine and the control point.

It is known that radio communication, as a kind of electrical communication, is carried out between two or several points by emitting and receiving electromagnetic waves through radio stations. It is designed to transmit and receive telephone, telegraph and facsimile messages, as well as transfer data to automated systems for controlling forces and weapons [1 - Naval Dictionary / Ch. ed. V.N. Chernavin. M .: Voenizdat, 1989. - 511 p. P. 355].

A submarine is a ship capable of submerging and acting in a submerged position, the main tactical property of which is stealth [2 - Naval Dictionary / Ch. ed. V.N. Chernavin. - M .: Military Publishing, 1989. - 511 p. S. 322].

When performing its tasks, the submarine must periodically contact the control center in order to receive and transmit the necessary information. The use of radio communications reduces the secrecy of the submarine and reveals its location, which limits their applicability and is a significant drawback.

A device is known that provides for the transfer of data on underwater measurements to coastal, surface or air objects, representing the oceanographic drift buoy adopted for the prototype of the invention. The buoy has buoyancy and counterweight, is equipped with measuring devices and radio communications [3 - Naval Dictionary / Ch. ed. V.N. Chernavin. - M .: Military Publishing, 1989. - 511 p. S. 62]. The buoy operates autonomously, is not connected with a submarine and does not require secrecy when transmitting radio information, therefore its use by a submarine for radio communication with the control center is not possible.

Known underwater vehicle with variable buoyancy - underwater glider or glider. In gliders, the driving force is obtained through the use of a buoyancy change device, which includes an electric pump with valves and valves, internal and external tanks, as well as a working fluid, such as oil. The inner tank is located in the hermetic housing of the glider, and the outer tank is located outside in its flooded part. To give the glider negative buoyancy from the external reservoir, the fluid is pumped into the internal one, after which the glider is immersed. To ascend, the glider increases its buoyancy by pumping fluid back from the inner tank to the outer one, etc. [4 - New underwater robot: economical and silent. http://www.infuture.ru/article/294], [5 - I. Belousov. Modern and perspective uninhabited underwater vehicles of the US Navy // Foreign Military Review No. 5, 2013. P. 79-88]. The device of the glider is given in the description of the self-transporting mine, in which the glider acts as a transporter. It is equipped with a hollow wing, an onboard control system, a device for receiving telecontrol signals, a current source, a device for self-destruction, a device for indicating the location and traffic control as part of a water intake with a grill cover, a cylinder with a piston and electric drive, a movable container with cargo, horizontal and vertical rudders direction indicator, hydrostat, hydrodynamic pressure sensor, horizontal and vertical rudders, trim and roll sensors, adjusting capacitively STI with a filler cap, navigation devices with a GPS / GLONASS receiver [6 - Application for invention No. 2014104395. Self-transporting mine glider and method of its production / V.I. Polenin, A.V. Novikov, V.V. Fast, A.M. Popov. - M .: FIPS, 2015. Bull. No. 23].

With their great autonomy and cruising range, the gliders have no connection with either the submarine or other carriers, and therefore cannot be used by them as a means of radio communication.

A device is known that is in communication with a submarine, and at such a distance that, when detected by the enemy, the location of the submarine remains unknown. This device is a remote-controlled torpedo representing a self-propelled underwater projectile equipped with an explosive charge, a fuse, an on-board control system, an energy source, an engine, a propulsor, steering gear drives, an outer tail with rudders and a telecontrol system with a wired communication line [7-Maritime dictionary / Ch. ed. V.N. Chernavin. - M .: Military Publishing, 1989. - 511 p. P. 431], [8 - V.V. Surnin, Yu.N. Pelevin, V.L. Chulkov Anti-submarine means of foreign fleets. - M .: Military Publishing, 1991. - 128 p. P. 79]. The range of wire remote-controlled torpedoes reaches 26 km, as, for example, the DM2A3 German torpedo [9 - B.А. Koptev, A.L. Gusev. Trends in the development of foreign torpedo weapons // Marine Radioelectronics, No. 3, 2006, p. 58-63], and telecontrol systems with a fiber-optic communication line (FOCL) allow to receive data from a torpedo homing system at ranges up to 60 km and at a speed 10 Mb / s [10 - F.R. Sagaydakov, N.A. Chernetsova. State and prospects of development of torpedoes of foreign fleets / Marine underwater weapons. Development prospects. Materials of the All-Russian scientific-practical conference. - SPb .: FSUE “Krylov State Research Center”, 2015. - 128 p: il. Pp. 112-118]. For telecontrol two wire coils are used ship (boat) and torpedo [11 - А.Б. Shirokorad Weapons of the domestic fleet 1945-2000 LODd total ed. A.E. Taras. - Minsk: Harvest; M .: OOO Publishing House AST, 2001. - 655 p. S. 313-321].

The use of torpedoes does not imply their going on the air and thus marking their location, since their main purpose is to defeat the enemy’s naval objects. Therefore, torpedoes can not be used by a submarine as a means of radio communication.

The aim of the invention is to develop a device that allows the submarine, if necessary, to communicate with the control room, without revealing to the enemy of its true location.

To achieve the goal of the invention, a submarine beacon having buoyancy and counterweight is proposed, the current source and radio communication means, characterized in that the beacon is additionally equipped with a control device, a buoyancy changing device, a wired or fiber optic line coil, a receiver and a converter of optical information into radio signals, geographic positioning receiver, video camera and self-destruction device, the submarine is additionally equipped with a device for x injuring and releasing a beacon, as well as a towed boat coil with a wired or fiber-optic communication line.

The control device controls the operation of the beacon in accordance with the program and / or commands from the submarine.

The buoyancy change device regulates the buoyancy of a beacon for its ascent to the surface and the implementation of a radio communication session of the submarine with a control point, or for diving the beacon to a predetermined depth.

Coils with wired or fiber-optic communication lines provide a submarine connection with a beacon and prevent its rupture by unwinding a wire or fiber-optic cable as it moves away from the beacon.

The receiver of the geographical positioning system is used to determine the geographic coordinates of the beacon for transmission to the submarine.

The video camera allows the operator to visually assess the situation around the beacon and, if necessary, use the self-destruction device, resulting in flooding the beacon or destroying its structure.

The technical result of the submarine’s use of the proposed beacon is to enable it to communicate with the control room without revealing its true location to the enemy.
