METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DISCOVERING AND DESTRUCTING SUBMARINE VESSELS FROM AN AIRCRAFT

摘要

The invention relates to a method for locating and destructing submarine vehicles from airborne vehicles disposed above the water surface, wherein a device (10) suspended from said airborne vehicle comprises sensing means (14) scanning generally in the horizontal plane to discover submarine vehicles in the water is submerged in the water from the airborne vehicle, said sensing means scanning the surrounding water to detect presence of and direction to submarine vehicles in the water. The device submerged in the water comprises a propulsion mechanism (12) and an explosive charge (11) and is released from the airborne vehicle and during continuous scanning of the water and detection of the presence of and direction to submarine vehicles is propelled independently through the water and steered for the submarine vehicle from the point of release.
