METHOD OF NAVIGATIONAL SUPPORT OF AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER ROBOT CONTROLLED FROM CONTROL SHIP Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC G01S3/80 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: determined is the starting point for autonomous underwater robots (AUR), taken for the beginning coordinates. Control ship in moved in accordance with the movement of the AUR. Onboard of the AUR the coordinates are determined, which are then controlled by the base hydro-acoustic beacon, on which is additionally added a transmitter of navigational signals which emits navigational signals. Navigational signals are received onboard the AUR, processed and combined with the information signal. Evaluation of the AUR coordinates are obtained by the data of the hydro-acoustic navigation system (HANS), which is made complex, and a deliberate evaluation is made of the coordinates AUR. This data is transmitted with AUR by the hydro-acoustic channel, the base hydro-acoustic beacon is set, then transmitted through a cable link to onboard the control ship and is reflected in real time.

EFFECT: rapid, precise and unlimited in range of work with the possibility of operative reflection in real time and geographical coordination of the motion trajectory of autonomous underwater robot onboard the control ship.
