CRUISE MISSILE WITH SELF-CONTAINED UNMANNED UNDERWATER VEHICLE-MINE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC B63G5/00 F42B15/01 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to naval armament, specifically to means of destruction of enemy sea objects and to means of their delivery to remote sea areas. Cruise missile carrying self-contained unmanned underwater vehicle-mine as combat unit has bearing wing and control elements, engine unit with jet engine, onboard current source and onboard control system. Inside the wing of the cruise missile or outside to it one or more self-contained unmanned underwater mine-propellant apparatus is installed, having an explosive charge with a detonating fuze, onboard control system associated with missile control system, braking and stabilization system, acoustic noncontact system for detecting sea targets and homing system. Self-contained unmanned underwater vehicle-mine has two modes of movement – low-cost positional low-speed mode with patrolling of specified area at specified depth and high-speed attacking mode for attack of detected target, two surveillance modes – standby concealed mode for passive monitoring of water environment without radiation of acoustic energy at the stage of functioning of autonomous unmanned underwater vehicle-mines to approach of sea targets and active mode with radiation of acoustic energy for aiming on target, which is detected in standby secret mode. Additionally, self-contained unmanned underwater vehicle-miner is equipped with detachable buoy with radio antenna, receiving-transmitting device, power supply, drowning device and coil with fiber-optic cable.

EFFECT: accelerated creation of controlled maneuver mine barrier for protection against penetration of enemy.
