CONTROLLED INDEPENDENT UNIVERSAL POSITIONAL UNDERWATER ANTI-AIRCRAFT (ANTI-SHIP) COMPLEX ("SPIDER") AND METHOD OF ITS IMPLEMENTATION Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC F41F3/00 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: proposed complex consists of floating-up container with surface-to-air missiles, which is separated into floating segments supported on the sea surface with external capacities filled with gas. The above-water part of the main segment has radar receiving-radiating device, and underwater part has the disturbance stabilisation device. Missile segments are connected to the main segment by hinge-rod mechanisms with one degree of freedom in vertical plane. Standard mine anchor and coil of mooring cable with mechanism of installation to the specified depth are fixed by means of explosive bolt to lower part of transport-startup container. The proposed method involves attacking of air or sea objects with self-directing missiles starting in above-water position from floating-up transport-startup container initially located at the specified depth in positional underwater position. Container is kept at the specified depth with mooring cable attached to anchor and changes the modes of its activity as per the commands received via radio channel and/or hydroacoustic communication channel.

EFFECT: group of inventions allows enlarging tactical capabilities of tactical employment of the complex as sea mine intended for attacking air or sea objects.
