UNDERWATER VEHICLE Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B63G8/00 

FIELD: shipbuilding.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to underwater technical means for exploration and development of the world ocean, namely to autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicles (UV). UV comprises a supporting structure in series and rigidly connected to each other in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the UV, with the possibility of being detachably and with different orientations with respect to each other box-shaped frames; sturdy bodies installed inside the frames; detachable buoyancy units installed inside the frames; and one-piece buoyancy units installed outside the skeletons and forming external UV envelopes together with the fairings. Frames are installed between the skeletons. Supporting structure is further provided with at least two box-shaped frames, one of which is integrated under the installation of a replaceable payload with the possibility of placing oversized structural elements of the latter behind external UV contours, and the other frame is integrated to accommodate an additional buoyancy unit to compensate for the weight of the replaceable payload. At the aft end of the UV in its DP and coaxially with its longitudinal axis, a permeable container with changeable weights is installed to adjust the trimmed torque of the UV.

EFFECT: technical result consists in expanding the functionality and improving the technical characteristics of the UV.
