METHOD OF USING ROCKET-PROPELLED RADIOSONIC BUOYS (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B63G9/00 B63B22/00 

FIELD: physics, acoustics.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods of monitoring an underwater environment. The method of using rocket-propelled radiosonic buoys from surface vessels to monitor an underwater environment by arranging buoys in a circle, includes determining the coordinates of the centre of the circle, using a computer to determine the radius of the circle, the required number of buoys and coordinates of thereof, loading a launcher with the required number of rocket-propelled radiosonic buoys, solving, at firing control devices, launcher guiding tasks to perform firing, guiding the launcher for firing to a first point, supplying power to pyrotechnic cartridges for firing the rocket-engine of the rocket-propelled radiosonic buoys, firing the first rocket-propelled radiosonic buoy, guiding the launcher and firing a rocket-propelled radiosonic buoy to the next points, using signals from buoys after water touchdown and beginning of operation thereof. The computer calculates the radius of the sector in which movement of an underwater object is located, the required number of buoys and coordinates thereof.

EFFECT: remote monitoring an underwater environment.
