KITE-POWERED UNMANNED UNDERWATER VEHICLE

摘要

A wind-powered unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) system can include a kite subsystem configured to be powered by wind energy, a control pod coupled with the kite subsystem and configured to control the kite sub-system, a payload platform configured to provide a mechanical structure on which at least one module may be mounted, a submersible UUV, and a coupling device configured to physically couple between the kite sub-system and the submersible UUV.
