METHOD OF ILLUMINATING UNDERWATER ENVIRONMENT Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC B63G8/00 B63G9/00 B63C11/48 

FIELD: machine building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods of monitoring underwater medium and searching for underwater objects. To illuminate underwater environment, method includes search of underwater objects with autonomous underwater vehicle. When underwater vehicle moves along a predetermined route before starting, method includes detecting an underwater object and report its finding to surface ship or a coastal station. Method includes determining predicted or calculated point of location of unmanned underwater vehicle calculating data for firing with one or two radio-hydroacoustic reactive one or two buoys. Method includes specifying geographic position of unmanned underwater vehicle at known coordinates of surface ship or coastal station and reactive radio-hydroacoustic buoy and transmitting to unmanned underwater vehicle via active link required remote control commands.

EFFECT: achieving systematic updating of location and remote control of unmanned underwater vehicle.
