METHOD OF RESCUE OF PEOPLE IN DISTRESS AT SEA AND DEVICE FOR REALIZATION OF THIS METHOD Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC B63C9/02 B63C9/00 

FIELD: aeronautical and marine engineering for rescue of people in distress at sea; life-saving service of sea fleet.

SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes delivery of life-saving appliances to area of sea disaster by target indication received from people in distress or from watercraft by aircraft carriers (aircraft, helicopter or another flying vehicle); life-saving appliances are delivered to point of disaster by self-guidance submersible vehicle by signals of hydroacoustic beacon belonging to person in distress. Person in distress is caught by trawl net thrown from submersible rescue vehicle. Life-saving appliances are actuated by gas delivered from reservoir-raft. Life-saving appliances charged with gas are made from elastomer material; they are stowed in submersible rescue vehicle in initial position. Device proposed for realization of this method includes hydroacoustic beacon which is given to person before disaster and submersible rescue vehicle equipped with trawl net connected with it by means of strength-power-communications cable and reservoir-raft with gas source secured on it.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency in rendering aid.
