The invention relates to a launch apparatus for an Unmanned Underwater Vehicle—in particular, for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle or for a Remotely Operated Vehicle—with a launching tube having an inner wall and an outlet, and the Unmanned Underwater Vehicle contained within the launching tube, whereby the Unmanned Underwater Vehicle has a vehicle casing with a vehicle casing inhomogeneity, such that an ejection of the Unmanned Underwater Vehicle causes different contact loads between the vehicle casing and the inner wall, whereby the Unmanned Underwater Vehicle has a detachable compensating form, which is designed in such a way that the vehicle inhomogeneity is compensated, such that the result is a combination of the Unmanned Underwater Vehicle and the detachable compensating form, the combination whereof, when ejected, causes a substantially more uniform contact load to occur between the combination and the inner wall. |

The foldable ramp is intended to store, carry and launch relatively large size tube-launched missiles typically on board of relatively small sized naval surface ships. Accordingly, the foldable ramp comprises a frame suitable for carrying one or more canisters for launching rockets or missiles and support elements, which are pivotably attached to the frame and which are adapted to pivotably connect to the launching platform so as to allow rotary movement of the frame with respect to the launching platform. A lifting device lifts the front end of the frame whereby the rear end of the canisters displace a horizontal distance towards the rear of the ramp as said lifting device lifts the frame. Adverse effects of the aft flame of the launched rocket or missile is securely displaced to the outside of the vehicle while foldability of the ramp enables to prevent or reduce radar and eye visibility of the launcher, particularly when mounted on a naval surface ship. |

A lower gun mount, which can be mounted in a standardized way on a ship or a permanent ground foundation, is used so that a gun can be mounted with minimal effort quickly, reproducibly and without slip, and later dismounted. This standardized lower gun mount is mounted geometrically correctly on a foundation or ship by so-called standardized ISO corners, which can be fixed in place on supports specially provided for this purpose and a mounting frame that assists the mounting. This makes it possible for the gun to be mounted rigidly and without play. |

A method for integrating a large-calibre gun on a ship, including connecting a turret having an armament of a lad gun with a calibre >127 mm in a modular configuration to an adaptor plate and a shock-absorbing mounting, and installing the turret on the ship so that an existing steel structure of the ship withstands increased recoil forces from the armament. |

An improved float tube arrangement for outdoor water-related activities, particularly hunting and fishing. The float can be deployed as a blind for partially concealing and camouflaging a user, who sits in the circular middle of the float upon an adjustable seat supported by suitable straps. When used as a blind a canopy and net are selectively deployed. The stable base is formed by a pair of coaxially stacked inner tubes that are tightly bound by a covering fabric. Mechanical integrity is enhanced by frame loops encircling the inner tubes, and an encircling belt that concentrically tensions the float within a depressed region formed at the juncture of the stacked inner tubes. A canopy mounted to the frame loops and an optional net can be deployed as desired. |

What has been invented is a series of scientific applications of the wideface energy converter device, be it in the form of a wideface solar heat receiver or a wideface fluid impeder device. The wider is the solar heat receiver, the more solar power is available for conversion. The wider is the sail of the boat, the more wind is available to push the boat. Wherefore, the wideface solar trap made up of multi-layer transparent roofs covering a heat insulated box is used to heat up a radiator tubings that contain water. The multilayer transparent roof, having spaces in between sheets, prevents solar heat from backing out hence the trap becomes hoter and hoter because the inner sheet is not in contact with the cold wind. This solar trap is now used to heat up radiator pipes of compressed air coming from a gas turbine engine and then returned back to the exhaust turbine of same engine. Applying the principle of the wind sail, the turbine blades of the compressor and the turbine blades of the exhaust turbine are made wideface as much as possible to produce maximum impedance against the expanding exhaust hot air and to produce maximum push upon the fresh air being compressed. This wideface fluid impeder is now expanded into an underwater platform from One Acre or much more and attached to floating hotels, large/small boats, and floating sea walls, to prevent oscillation by the surfs. |

An improved ship which incorporates a distortion sensor arrangement. Measurement data supplied by the distortion sensor arrangement is preferably used to correct measurement data supplied by and/or control signals for an on-board directional apparatus. The distortion sensor arrangement preferably includes a hull-mounted laser beam/light sensor combination, and such that the light sensor continuously measures a deflection of the laser beam in response to a distortion of the ship. |

A system for mounting a device on board ship which experiences normal vibrations of a predetermined frequency and which may be subjected to high intensity shock forces including a plurality of preloaded liquid springs operable in tension and compression and oriented in a truss configuration between the deck of the ship and the device, the casings of the liquid springs having a natural frequency in excess of the normal shipboard vibrational frequencies and by virtue of being preloaded providing rigid linkages for transmitting normal shipboard vibrational frequencies to the device, the preloading being of such a magnitude to permit the liquid springs to yield in either tension or compression when the ship is subjected to high intensity shock forces such as weapons effect pulses, and the liquid springs resetting the device to its normal position relative to the ship after termination of the high intensity shock forces. |

An ocean launching apparatus of space rockets comprises a launch pad platform having a floating-island structure and a semi-submersible hull for loading and transporting the launch pad platform. When the apparatus reaches an intended ocean area, a rocket set on the launch pad platform is floated from the hull in a semi-submersing state on the ocean together with the launch pad platform and moved to a launching site. In this way, it is possible to provide an ideal launching site of space rockets, increase an economical efficiency of launching of space rockets, and guarantee the safety if an accident should occur. |

Electronic control apparatuses (11, 12, 13) are provided for a warship having controlling and controlled units with a bedding (foundation) plane, with the control apparatuses forming control signals for the associated controlled units from the crude information coming from the associated controlling units. The electronic control apparatuses (11, 12, 13) have correction stages for each associated controlled unit for modifying the formed control signals in dependence on the bedding error of the associated controlled unit and/or of the controlling unit (19, 20, 21) which supplies the control apparatus (11, 12, 13). Furthermore, memories are provided for storing the bedding error values in dependence on the horizontal angular position of the controlled unit and/or of the controlling unit (FIG. 1). |

WARE P |
A water cannon for use on land or in the water. Water inlets may be opened to fill the container and closed so that the container may be moved from the water source for use. Construction of the apparatus is such that it will float when used in a water environment. The design of a compression cylinder, barrel and nozzle is such that maximum distance may be achieved with a droplet size that will not be injurious to those who use the apparatus.
