Due to the tubular design of the device, it is also possible that an underwater vehicle such as a heavyweight torpedo can be loaded into the salvage pipe. In addition, it is also possible that due to the end of the tube of the device open towards the interior of the submersible, an underwater vehicle may remain in communication with the submersible vehicle via a "umbilical cord" in the form of a fiber optic cable during execution of its data exchange mission. This allows a real-time data exchange between underwater recovery vehicle and underwater vehicle during its mission.

  • the funnel-shaped design of the insertion / extraction means also achieves passive guidance of the underwater vehicle both during deployment and during recovery, which avoids damage to the entry or exit area of a salvage pipe.
  • the invention is further based on the consideration that when using a submarine as underwater recovery vehicle in the always flooded with water area between the pressure hull and outer shell of the submarine to a tilting of an underwater vehicle during its entry or exit of a Salvage serving torpedo tube can come because this area is at most traversed by support struts between the pressure hull and the outer shell.

  • An acoustic insertion means may, for example, be a so-called "pinger".
  • Pinger are acoustic signaling devices. Since underwater vehicles for reconnaissance purposes usually have a sonar device for locating and surveying, they can locate the pinger and make a fine alignment of their position with respect to the input / extraction means. By means of a pinger, it is also possible that an underwater vehicle can align itself very early on the input / extraction means, since its signal can be perceived at a great distance, for example in the range of 100 m, by a equipped with a sonar unit underwater vehicle.
  • An optical insertion means may, for example, be a laser, in particular a green laser.
  • a green laser has the advantage that its spectral line in the water has the greatest range - even in murky water ranges in the range of more than 10 m can be reached. Since laser radiation can be detected very precisely with the appropriate equipment of an underwater vehicle with an adequate optical detector, a particularly exact alignment of the underwater vehicle on the input / extraction means can be made about it.

  • the insertion means are arranged at mutually equidistant intervals on the edge of the insertion / extraction means facing away from the tube. This makes it possible for the underwater vehicle to be able to align itself particularly precisely with the insertion / extraction means, because the submarine vehicle, via its corresponding detection devices, has an impression of the spatial orientation and the size of the opening of the insertion / extraction means and via its corresponding detection devices determine his own situation in this regard.
  • the tube has a length of more than three meters. Since the distance between the outer shell and pressure hull of today used as Unterwasserbergungsdorfen submarines is usually three meters, by a tube with a length of more than three meters, this gap can be completely bridged by the tube by the tube, for example by methods in this space is introduced.

  • the tube is made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic.
  • Carbon fiber reinforced plastic has the advantage that it has a lower weight compared to metallic materials. By using this plastic, the weight load of an underwater recovery vehicle can be kept low. This is particularly important, for example, for submarines as underwater recovery vehicles, because there must be paid to a low weight load, so as not to affect the maneuverability of the submarine.
  • the use of other, lighter weight composite materials as a material for the tube is conceivable.
  • Non-magnetic materials have the advantage that they can not be localized by magnetic fields. As a result, protection against magnetic sensors, such as mines, can be realized. A location of the device by, for example, hostile U-boats by means of a magnetic field is thus not possible.

H. the funnel can unfold or open to its full size. This makes it easier to "thread” an underwater vehicle into the device since the underwater vehicle is guided through its funnel shape as soon as it reaches the opening region of the intake / extraction means. It makes sense to drive an underwater vehicle in such a salvage operation with his "head piece" ahead into the funnel.
  • the invention is based on the recognition that enclosing the underwater vehicle, after it has at least partially retracted into the hopper of the input / extraction means, by the insertion / extraction means an accidental Loss of the underwater vehicle prevents and makes it possible to turn off the drive of the underwater vehicle already in this process status.
  • a further alignment by the underwater vehicle to the recovery pipe is no longer necessary.
  • the underwater vehicle is enclosed in its front area by the input / extraction means to avoid as early as possible possible damage to the underwater vehicle by any subsequent collision with the insertion / extraction means or the tube.

  • an underwater vehicle can thus be safely and without damage salvaged, since collisions with salvage or outer shell of the underwater recovery vehicle can be excluded.
  • an autonomous salvage is feasible, an operator who performs manual steps or must supervise the salvage operation is not required.

Furthermore, the invention is based on the recognition that opening the input / extraction means according to method step c) also ensures a certain passive guidance of the underwater vehicle when leaving the device through its funnel shape. A underwater vehicle salvaged in accordance with the recovery method described above would thus move backwards out of the device when carrying out the method of suspension just described, that is, with the tail in front. Before the underwater vehicle can be enclosed by the insertion / extraction means according to method step a), it must of course reach the interior of the same. This can realize the underwater vehicle, for example, even on its own drive.
  • the invention is based on the consideration that an underwater vehicle and an underwater recovery vehicle often pursue different missions in different locations. For this reason, it makes sense for an underwater vehicle to be retrieved to arrive at a rendezvous coordinate agreed upon with an underwater recovery vehicle upon successful completion of its mission.

  • the invention is based on the consideration that underwater not only the salvage recovery vehicle provided may be located, but also, for example, enemy underwater recovery vehicles may be traveling whose intention is to destroy the underwater vehicle or to use for their own purposes. For this reason, it makes sense for the underwater vehicle to perform an identification exchange with the underwater recovery vehicle to identify if it is the "right", friendly-minded underwater recovery vehicle.

  • the underwater recovery vehicle enters the agreed-upon position, the meeting point coordinates, at a fixed heading, where the underwater recovery vehicle takes a horizontal, minimum ride straight ahead and virtually floats a certain amount of time.
  • This "floating" has the advantage that the insertion / extraction means does not change the position of his funnel, so there is no rotation of the funnel and the underwater vehicle "sees” almost a fixed funnel.
  • the underwater vehicle counteracts the underwater recovery vehicle and starts autonomous docking with the device installed in the recovery pipe of the underwater recovery vehicle.
  • Underwater recovery vehicles - such as a submarine - generally have a very good navigation system, ie. Approaching agreed meeting point coordinates is very possible.
  • underwater vehicles often have to make sure that they are not too heavy in weight and do not exceed certain dimensions, these are usually not equipped with a similarly good navigation system, but usually have only inertial sensors to determine their own position.
  • Higher-quality underwater vehicles can also have an echo sounder in the form of a Doppler Velocity Log and / or a TERCOM system ("terrain contour matching" system) to increase the accuracy of their own position determination.
