SYSTEM OF GUIDANCE OF AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLE TO BOTTOM MOORING DEVICE Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC B63G8/00 G01S15/00 H01M10/46 G01S1/08 

FIELD: marine technology.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of marine technology and is intended for autonomous guidance of self-propelled underwater vehicles to the bottom mooring device (BMD). The guidance system includes a navigation system with a leading cable, which has two anchors with ground electrodes, a unit with a current source, its converter, a generator and equipment for receiving and emitting hydroacoustic signals with an electronic unit and amplifier, encoder and decoder, hydroacoustic sensors, transponder beacons or markers. An anchor-ground electrode, a hydroacoustic sensor, a transponder beacon or a marker are attached to the first end of the lead cable, to the second end of the lead cable, a second ground anchor and a BMD are attached, which has a mooring cone, a distance meter, a mooring device body, an Ethernet antenna, a stopper, control equipment and support, with a power station located inside, a current converter and a generator. The AUV has a device for receiving signals from a leading cable and an Ethernet antenna.

EFFECT: reliable and accurate docking of the AUV to the DPU is provided, which is necessary for recharging.
