Abstract: A mine clearing device comprises a substantially hollow body forming a cavity. An eccentric ballast is disposed within the cavity and is rotated by a motor powered by an internal power source, thereby imparting rotational motion to the device. A plurality of anti-axial projections of varying lengths and sizes are mounted on the outer surface of the body to interact with the terrain and, thus, impart unbiased motion to the body as it rotates and traverses a mine field. The outer surface of the body is made of blast resistant material. A shock absorbent material, disposed within the cavity, absorbs the explosive force of mines. Circuitry or a marker substance may be used to record or mark the path traveled by the device.

Abstract: Launch and recovery of an aerial vehicle by a forwardly moving surface vehicle relies on a winch module having a winch to selectively reel out and reel in a towline and a sensor capable of sensing tension in the towline. A lifting body assembly having a pair of lifting bodies and a snagging wire is connected to the towline. The lifting bodies lift and laterally extend the snagging wire between the lifting bodies. An aerial vehicle flying through the air engages the snagging wire by a hook. A first signal representative of tension of the towline causes the winch to reel in the towline and to bring the aerial vehicle to the surface vehicle, and a second sensor associated with the hook generates a second signal representative of tension in the hook and causes the aerial vehicle to cut its motor.

Abstract: An inflatable barrier system halts an approaching boat. A barrier support platform houses a pressurized gas source and a power supply and has a winch connected to a pair of cables. An inflatable barrier body member having a bow and stern is coupled to the pressurized gas source for inflation of the body member and the cables are connected to the bow and stern to deploy the inflated body member at the surface of the water and to maintain the bow above the surface and the stern below the surface of the water. A barrier controller provides signals indicative of the approaching boat to initiate the inflation of the inflatable barrier body member and the deployment of the inflated barrier body member at the surface with the bow above the surface and the stern below the surface without inflicting excessive damage to the boat or injury to its occupants.

Abstract: A mine clearing device has an outer body forming a cavity capable of holding a pressurized substance, a conduit in the outer surface for expelling the pressurized substance from the body to thereby cause the device to rotate and traverse a mine field, and a plurality of anti-axial projections on the surface of the outer body that interact with the terrain to impart unbiased motion to the body as it rotates. A regulator controls the flow of the substance and a nozzle directs it as it exits the conduit. The outer body is made of blast resistant material. A shock absorbent material, disposed within the shell, absorbs the explosive force of mines. Circuitry or a marker substance may be used to record the position of the device.

Abstract: A launch and recovery system for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV) includes a watercraft with a stern endwall movable between a vertical position and a ramp position that is angled downward toward the water surface. A storage platform mounted on the watercraft and terminating at the stern endwall defines a storage area for UUVs. An arm is pivotally mounted to the watercraft at a position forward of the storage platform. The arm has an outboard end that can be extended to positions aft of the watercraft and on either side thereof. The arm is also retractable such that its outboard end is positionable over the storage platform. A capture mechanism is mounted to the outboard end of the arm and is used to capture a UUV that maneuvers thereto in the water. A homing mechanism is coupled to the arm and is used to transmit a homing signal through the water for use by the UUV in maneuvering towards the capture mechanism.
