3 Cable cutting system for retrieval of exercise mines and other underwater payloads US13975521 2013-08-26 US09199707B1 2015-12-01 Bryan J. Smallin; James L. Bacot, Jr.
An improved cable cutting system for an exercise mine or other underwater payload is provided. The system utilizes a pro-pressurized gas cartridge as the source of compressed gas to operate a cable cutter and anti-scouring system. A firing pulse initiates a bottle-punch actuator positioned in a manifold. The actuator punctures the sealed nipple of the gas cartridge. The released gas is directed through the manifold and injected directly into a cylinder that drives a piston. The piston is connected to a chisel that is driven forward to cut the cable. The released gas can also activate the anti-scouring system or, alternatively, additional cartridges/punches may be used for the anti-scoring system.

5 Low cost rapid mine clearance system US10267887 2002-10-08 US06766745B1 2004-07-27 Robert Kuklinski; Thomas J. Gieseke
A method and apparatus to clear mines uses tag particles dropped into ambient water across a wide area by an aircraft to sink and stick to submerged mines. The tag particles each contain a gas volume dimensioned to resonate with impinging acoustic energy and reflect portions of the impinging acoustic energy from a targeted mine. An unmanned underwater vehicle platform having a sonar system provided with at least one transducer projects the acoustic energy through the ambient water. At least one hydrophone transducer in the sonar system receives the reflected portions of the projected acoustic energy to locate a targeted mine to enable its destruction by high-energy supercavitating projectiles fired from the platform. Tag particles dissolve after a period of time to provide virtually no discernable traces of a mine hunting operation.

The invention relates to a shallow-draft watercraft having the ability to withstand impact stresses caused by upwardly travelling water movement corresponding to a shock factor (CF) of up to about 1.5. The watercraft comprises at least one superstructure, which is intended to be located above the surface of the water, at least two pontoons which float on the water, and devices for supporting the superstructure. The watercraft is characterized in that the pontoons are gas-tight and gas-filled and of a substantially cylindrical and elongated configuration. The pontoon walls include several layers of material, of which at least one layer inwardly of the outermost layer is a reinforcing layer. The reinforcing layer includes threads which are wound in at least three directions, wherein the material layers are disposed so that the pontoons are rigid with regard to bending, transversely acting forces and axial rotation, provided that an overpressure prevails within the gas-filled pontoons. The superstructure supporting devices rest on the pontoons, essentially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the pontoons.

In a method for detection and neutralization of underwater objects which are present in a sea region, in particular mines, a two-dimensional or three-dimensional image of the seabed is created by means of an unmanned first underwater vehicle during a reconnaissance mission in a sea region section by means of optical and/or acoustic sensors, and this image is evaluated for the presence of underwater objects, after completion of the reconnaissance mission. At least one underwater object which is present is marked in the image, and the image which has been provided with the object marking is stored in an unmanned second underwater vehicle, which is equipped with the same sensors and additionally with a neutralization unit. During a neutralization mission by the second underwater vehicle in the same sea region section, image elements of the seabed are created continuously by means of the sensors and are compared with the stored image of the seabed. The second underwater vehicle is guided to the marked underwater object on the basis of the comparison data, and activates the neutralization unit there.
