MOBILE DISTRIBUTED UNDERWATER SURVEILLANCE SYSTEM Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC G01S3/80 

FIELD: underwater surveillance systems.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of underwater surveillance systems providing monitoring of the underwater situation in the designated sea area. Mobile distributed underwater surveillance system includes a set of autonomous unmanned underwater vehicles (AUUV), each of which is equipped with control and movement means, hydroacoustic equipment for searching underwater objects in passive and active modes and radio (satellite) communication equipment, as well as control station located on shore or on ship and equipped with means of communication with AUUV and the necessary infrastructure for maintenance of AUUV, including repair and charging of their accumulator batteries. Mobile distributed underwater surveillance system additionally includes an autonomous wave generator, which consists of a floating facility (FF) on the sea surface, a device for converting energy of on-board oscillations FF into electrical energy, which includes a sensitive mass connected to an electrical machine. At the bottom of the sea there is an accumulator battery equipped with mooring devices AUUV in the form of sockets with connectors for recharging of accumulator batteries AUUV by contact or contactless method. Cable-rope connects the accumulator battery of the wave generator with the device for conversion of energy of sea waves into electric energy.

EFFECT: higher efficiency of mobile distributed underwater surveillance system.
