Remotely controlled submerged craft - is controlled by sonic waves from surface vessel

摘要

The surface vessel (1) for controlling a submerged vessel is fitted with a sonic transmitter (2) and is also fitted with a wave generator consisting of a control console and a wave transmitter. This transmitter converts waves into sonic waves at the underwater transmitter (2). The submerged vessel (8) is fitted with a light skin over the framework. The vessel carries a number of batteries (10) for its driving power. The sealed compartment (11) carries the electronic equipment and the propulsion unit (13) is mounted outside the hull. The receiver transducer (17) is mounted on the hull.
