Device for recovering a naval or submarine vehicle

摘要

#CMT# #/CMT# The device has a flexible link (20) e.g. cable, with an end (21) connected to a marine or submarine vehicle (80). A coil (30) is connected to another end (22) of the flexible link. The flexible link is wound around the coil, and a ballasting load (50) is associated to the coil. The flexible link and the coil are cooperated such that the coil is released from the load by unwinding the flexible link wound around the coil. The flexible link carries a stopper (71) between the ends of the flexible link. #CMT# : #/CMT# An independent claim is also included for a marine or submarine vehicle comprising a remote controllable releasing system. #CMT#USE : #/CMT# Device for recovering a marine vehicle or submarine vehicle e.g. autonomous underwater vehicle, in water from a recovery base e.g. boat, pier or offshore platform. Can also be used for recovering a torpedo or a surface drone. #CMT#ADVANTAGE : #/CMT# The flexible link and the coil are cooperated such that the coil is released from the load by unwinding the flexible link wound around the coil, thus assuring safe, simple and correct deployment and removal of the link from the autonomous underwater vehicle. The configuration of the device reduces the risk of winding of the link around the vehicle, assures easy recovery of the link and the vehicle, and reduces the risk of damage to the vehicle. The device reduces the risk of the link in ailerons or in a propeller of the autonomous underwater vehicle. #CMT#DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS : #/CMT# The drawing shows a schematic view representing the deployment of a flexible link in a marine vehicle or submarine vehicle. 20 : Flexible link 21, 22 : Ends of flexible link 30 : Coil 50 : Ballasting load 71 : Stopper 80 : Marine or submarine vehicle.
