UNINHABITED RESEARCH SMALL SUBMARINE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B63G8/00 B63G8/28 

FIELD: ship building.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the design and construction of submarines (submarines) and is intended for test underwater launches of torpedo and missile weapons. Submarine includes a bow, stern and medium-strength hulls, as well as blocks of launch tubes serving for the underwater launch of missiles or torpedoes. Submarine is equipped with permeable fences placed in the middle part and in the nose, in which there are kits that are a combination of blocks of launchers or equivalent in size, weight and volume of replacement weight mock-ups. Block of the launch tubes, as well as the layout, is a parallelepiped, made removable and fixed with detachable connections with the possibility of turning it by 90° relative to any of the transverse axes, and also with the possibility of reinstalling it from one permeable partition to another with an appropriate rearrangement of the replacement weighting model. Block of the launch tubes is provided with a kinematic system that ensures a parallel turn of the pipes by a given angle, and also is equipped with a system of flexible hoses connected to each launch pipe through a shut-off valve that supplies compressed air to any of the launch tubes.

EFFECT: start-up is ensured in any given direction while ensuring safety in terms of impacts on humans due to the uninhabited nature of the submarine.
