Method and device for the monitoring and remote control of unmanned, mobile underwater vehicles
First Claim
1. Device for the monitoring and remote control of an unmanned autonomous underwater vessel (1) and for the positioning thereof, characterised in that it comprises at least one drifting and/or autonomous unmanned floating vessel (2) comprising at least one first receiver (3) for monodirectional communication with at least a first transmitter (4) of first positioning radar signals, said floating vessel comprising at least one transmitter-receiver (5) for bidirectional communication with at least a second transmitter-receiver (6) of second navigation radar signals, said device comprising at least one land-based transmitter-receiver (7) for bidirectional communication with the second transmitter-receiver (6), the floating vessel (2) comprising at least one transmitter-receiver (8) for data and synchronisation signals, said autonomous underwater vessel comprising at least one transmitter-receiver (9) for data and synchronisation signals compatible with the transmitter-receiver (8) of the floating vessel.

Abstract
A method and a device for remotely controlling and monitoring partially autonomous manned submersibles. The device comprises at least one manned floating vehicle (2) which is drifting and/or autonomous and comprises at least one first one-way communication receiver (3) with at least one first transmitter (4) for transmitting first positioning radio signals. Said floating vehicle comprises at least one two-way transceiver (5) with at least one second transceiver (6) for second messaging radio signals. The device comprises at least one land-based two-way transceiver (7) for communication with said second transceiver (6) for second messaging radio signals, and said floating vehicle (2) comprises at least one transceiver (8) for timing and data signals. Furthermore, said autonomous submersible comprises at least one timing and data signal transceiver (9) compatible with said transceiver (8) on the floating vehicle. Said method and device are useful in the field of underwater acoustic guidance and positioning systems.
