FIELD: navigation systems.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to marine equipment, namely to creation of electromagnetic navigation channels. Underwater navigation system with driving cable (8) is laid on sea bottom along route of floating watercraft. At that, laying of cable (8) and its equipment is performed by self-propelled underwater vehicle (2), which is delivered to preset area on surface, underwater or air carrier (1), its prelaunch preparation is performed, route task is installed in onboard control system of underwater vehicle and discharged into water as per readiness. At approach of underwater vehicle (2) to point of start (5) of driving cable (8) setting, it floats to surface, where satellite navigation, radio- or hydroacoustic navigation system is specified with geographical coordinates of underwater vehicle (2). At point (5), anchor-earthing device (7) is provided with driving cable (8) connected to it and hydroacoustic sensor (6) serving for remote switching on and off of master cable system by signal from navigation object. Driving cable (8) is laid on the ground along the course of the marked route. At end point (9), laying of driving cable (8) is completed, anchor-earthing device (7) of the master cable is carried out with hydroacoustic sensor (6) connected to it. After laying of driving cable (8) and associated equipment, underwater vehicle (2) with detachable unit (10) with current source, generator and equipment for receiving and emitting hydroacoustic signals is directed to carrier (1) for lifting to board and returning to base, or laid on soil in end point without separation of unit (10). Also disclosed is self-propelled underwater vehicle (2) with onboard control system, power plant with power source and engine, propulsor, drives of steering machines, stabilizers and rudders, providing movement of underwater vehicle on a given route, navigation equipment, which provides operation of underwater vehicle, with satellite, radio or hydroacoustic navigation system, radio and sound underwater communication means with control point, carrier and navigation objects, compartment for payload with track, with lead cable, with electronic unit with amplifier, encoder and decoder.
EFFECT: navigation equipment of sea areas is provided with possibility of laying underwater navigation system on the bottom along the route of floating facilities (surface ships, ships, submarines and vehicles), creation of an electromagnetic safe passage corridor along a driving cable, communication of an underwater vehicle and a host cable system with a carrier, a control point and navigation objects.
