METHOD OF EXPLOITATION OF UNDERWATER VEHICLES Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B63G8/28 B63G5/00 B63G6/00 F41F3/10 

FIELD: military equipment.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to methods of exploitation of armament and military equipment, namely to methods of exploitation of underwater vehicles (UV) for different carriers, such as submarines, surface ships and coastal complexes. Proposed method of UV exploitation concerns conditions of placing and storing UV on carrier with use of storage device in form of belt or chain conveyor with trays or holders for UV storage or containers with UV, as well as sequence of operations of UV start preparation using starting device depending on type of carrier, which can be submarine, surface ship or coastal complex.

EFFECT: invention provides: simplification and acceleration of UV loading on carrier, increased capacity of UV carrier, increased safety of UV carrier, increased range UV, received by carrier, reduced time delays between UV launches, higher secrecy of carrier, when executing UV start.
