LAUNCHING OF DRONE FROM SUBMARINE Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC B63G8/30 F41F3/07 F42B15/20 

FIELD: transport.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to submarines and jet projectiles launched therefrom. Proposed method comprises opening the cover of submarine deep-water container at surface position and loading of drone therein. Said cover is sealed and submarine dives to launch area and to launch depth. Container cover is opened to start the drone jet engine. Prior to submarine container cover sealing, drone surfacing means is arranged inside container, at its top section. Said means is connected with said drone by flexible linkage including compressed resilient bag and system to inflate it with compressed gas by over pressure. Resilient bag volume is selected to ensure positive buoyancy of drone surface means. Prior to drone engine starting, said resilient bag is supercharged by supercharging system. Jet engine starting and flexible linkage unlocking are executed after drone surfacing from container and submarine exiting from launch site.

EFFECT: higher safety at drone launching.
