COMPACT MULTI-FUNCTIONAL AUTONOMOUS UNINHABITED UNDERWATER VEHICLE -CARRIER VEHICLE FOR REPLACEABLE ACTUAL LOAD Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC B63G8/00 

FIELD: vessels and other floating vehicles; equipment therefor.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to underwater technical means for research and development of the world's oceans. Compact multifunctional autonomous uninhabited underwater vehicle (AUUV), designed to perform a wide range of research, prospecting and underwater technical works on the shelf, is proposed. AUUV contains a hull supporting structure made of compartments, including from the aft sealed compartment and the adjacent hermetic compartment, consistently and rigidly interconnected with the possibility of their connector in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the AUUV, propulsion and steering complex of four sustainers and vertical thruster propulsion, the basic systems supporting the operation of the AUUV as part of the program control and navigation system, power supply systems based on the battery module, hydroacoustic communication system and radio communication system, buoyancy blocks. Marching propellers are installed in the tail section of the aft compartment on the stabilizers, and the vertical thruster is located in one of the compartments. Battery module is located in the aft compartment. Between the feed compartment and the adjacent hermetic compartment there is an intermediate hermetic compartment of a smaller outer diameter additionally rigidly installed. Structural elements of the basic systems ensuring the functioning of the AUUV are housed in an airtight compartment adjacent to the intermediate sealed compartment of a smaller outer diameter. AUUV is made of an immutable base part, including a propulsion and steering complex, battery module, basic systems, ensuring its functioning, and structurally and functionally related parts to accommodate a replaceable payload, which includes both a compartment that is permeable to seawater and a sealed compartment.

EFFECT: technical result consists in expanding the functionality, improving the manufacturability, improving the maintenance of the AUUV.
