81 High-speed supercavitating underwater vehicle US10663055 2003-09-15 US06739266B1 2004-05-25 John M. Castano; Robert Kuklinski
A high-speed supercavitating underwater vehicle includes an elongated hull of circular cross section, the hull having a cavitator at a forward end thereof and means for ventilating gas to form a cavity around the hull in underwater travel. An expandable annular skirt is fixed on the hull and is provided with an outer surface proximate an outer surface of the hull. The skirt is expandable to increase a diameter of the skirt from proximate a diameter of the hull to proximate a diameter of the cavity to define an annular gas film between the expanded skirt and a boundary of the cavity. The expanded skirt acts to substantially reduce the flow of gas from a forward high pressure zone of gas to an after low pressure zone of gas.
82 Supercavitating water-entry projectile US22916399 1999-01-13 USH1938H 2001-02-06 HARKINS THOMAS K; STEVES HOWARD K; GOELLER JACQUES E
A supercavitating water-entry projectile having empennage on the aft end which provides both aerodynamic and hydrodynamic stability and a supercavitating nose section is provided. A representative projectile is a subcaliber munition adapted for use in a 25 mm weapon using a sabot currently in use with the M919 round. The projectile has circumferential grooves around its center section to match these sabots. A key feature in the invention is the size and shape of the nose section. The projectile has a novel high strength extended blunt nose section followed by a truncated conical section which angles towards the body of the projectile in the range of five degrees. During underwater trajectory, the entire projectile is contained within the cavitation bubble formed by the blunt nose tip. The projectile's aft empennage, which provides both aerodynamic and hydrodynamic stability, fits within the bore of the weapon.
83 Standoff delivered sonobuoy US137874 1998-08-17 US6082675A 2000-07-04 Robert C. Woodall, Jr.; Felipe A. Garcia
A standoff delivery system is responsive to GPS coordinate signals and inight GPS signals to deliver and emplace a sonobuoy at a remote location that otherwise would be hazardous for full size aircraft conventionally deploying the sonobuoy. A flying platform, such as a drone or gliding guided wing, carries the sonobuoy to a remote location. A GPS receiver on the platform enters GPS coordinate signals representative of the remote location and receives GPS signals representative of the location of the platform. A control signal generator produces control signals in response to both of the GPS signals and feeds control signals to servos that displace control surfaces to pilot the platform. The sonobuoy is released from the platform in response to GPS signals that are representative of at least the proximity of the remote location. This system provides for clandestine deployment and activation of the sonobuoy.
84 Aerodynamically stabilized projectile system for use against underwater objects US993544 1997-12-18 US5929370A 1999-07-27 Jeffrey A. Brown; Reed Copsey; Marshall Tulin; Roy Kline
A projectile is propelled from a location in air, through an air/water interface, and toward a submerged underwater object. The projectile includes a forward end that forms a cavitation void around the projectile in water, avoiding water drag on the remainder of the projectile. The projectile further includes an outwardly flared or finned rearward end that aerodynamically stabilizes the projectile in air and flare stabilizes it in water, in each case against yaw.
85 Launched torpedo decoy US110257 1993-08-19 US5341718A 1994-08-30 Robert C. Woodall, Jr.; S. Kyle Jones; H. Joseph Jones, Jr.
An acoustic decoy round ejected by a launcher for flight above water from aea-going vessel, impacts at the water surface to cause separation of a payload from a forward section of the round that is also separated from a flotation anchor tethered to the payload and fins which stabilized launched flight of the round prior to impact. The separated payload submerges from the flotation anchor at the water surface location to a tethered depth within the water from which a decoy signal is emitted.
