Title
(EN) SUBMERSIBLE VEHICLE
(FR) VEHICULE SUBMERSIBLE
Abstract
(EN) A submersible vehicle comprising a plurality of rigid submersible vessels (2, 3), some of which, (2), include propulsion means and some of which, (3), do not include propulsion means, the rigid submersible vessels being coupled by resilient couplings which are adapted to transmit pulling and braking forces between adjacent rigid submersible vessels. Steering means and position sensing means is provided on at least some of the submersible vessels whereby to ensure that the following submersible vessels follow exactly the lead vessel to avoid fixed obstructions.
(FR) L'invention concerne un véhicule submersible comprenant plusieurs vaisseaux submersibles rigides (2, 3), dont certains, (2), comprennent un moyen de propulsion et certains, 3, ne comprennent pas de moyen de propulsion. Les vaisseaux submersibles sont accouplés par des accouplements élastiques conçus pour transmettre les forces de traction et de freinage entre les vaisseaux submersibles. Un moyen de guidage et un moyen capteur de position sont prévus sur au moins certains des vaisseaux submersibles, ce qui permet de garantir que les vaisseaux submersibles suiveurs suivent exactement le vaisseau de tête afin qu'ils évitent les obstructions fixes.
