METHOD FOR SUBMERSIBLE VEHICLES OPERATION Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC B63G8/00 B63C5/00 

FIELD: military equipment.

SUBSTANCE: submersible vehicles (SVs) are loaded onto a carrier to operate underwater vehicles and place them on storage-equipped places. The SVs are mechanically secured against possible accidental movement and stored on the carrier for a specified period. SVs maintenance and inspection are performed to monitor their performance. The SVs are prepared for start-up, for which data input-output devices are used to input starting values or tasks for operation into the SVs control devices after starting from the carrier. The SVs consisting of two modules - a special module and a transport module - are loaded on the carrier. When the assembled SVs and/or their modules separately are stored on a carrier, a single module is replaced with the expiration of its storage period. When the SVs are prepared for start-up, in the absence of an SV with the required module or its malfunction, the module is replaced with the existing serviceable module of the required purpose, stored separately.

EFFECT: possibility to vary the number of submersible vehicles of the desired purpose, ease of loading and transport operations to replace the components of submersible vehicles.
