METHOD FOR DETECTING AND HITTING AN UNDERWATER TARGET Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC F42B15/22 G01S15/04 F41F3/10 F41G7/00 

FIELD: radio location.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to means of detecting and hitting underwater objects. A self-propelled underwater projectile with an acoustic transducer antenna and a trajectory correction system is set together with a radiohydroacoustic buoy, wherein said projectile is submerged after landing on water to a depth equal to the length of the flexible connection connecting the projectile with the float used to hold the self-propelled underwater projectile and the acoustic search system of the buoy in the water. When a target enters the area of reach of the self-propelled underwater projectile, a signal to attack the target is sent from the control point or the electronic unit of the buoy. The flexible connection of the float with the self-propelled underwater projectile is broken, the propeller thereof is launched and directed towards the target, the acoustic transducer antenna and a trajectory correction system are activated, the target is detected, the self-propelled underwater projectile is aimed at the target, the body of the target is hit, and an explosive apparatus is used to strike the target.

EFFECT: using a unified search and strike mechanism, underwater objects are detected at a long distance and attacked in the shortest time.
