  • Patent number: 6427615
    Abstract: A modularized unmanned marine surface vehicle contains control section and propulsion section. The control section is composed of bow section, control cabin, probing module, communication module and conjunction module. The propulsion section contains an energy cabin and a power plant cabin. The conjunction module can be combined with the energy cabin as a complete unmanned marine surface vehicle. The probing module contains probing instruments and equipment. The propulsion section can be battery-powered, gasoline-powered or diesel-powered. The propulsion section can be equipped with a propeller, a water jet or a turbine jet propeller of high power or low power as the power source assembly.

The control section is composed of bow section, control cabin, probing module, communication module and conjunction module. The propulsion section contains an energy cabin and a power plant cabin. The conjunction module can be combined with the energy cabin as a complete unmanned marine surface vehicle. The probing module can be the option of combining with probing instruments and equipment. The probing module's possible tasks include obtaining information on the depth of water, water quality assessment, temperature analysis and even underwater photography. The propulsion section can be battery-powered, gasoline-powered or diesel-powered. The propulsion section can be equipped with a propeller, a water jet or a turbine jet propeller of high power or low power as the power source assembly. By the modularized design, the length of the vehicle can be shrunk, for easy carry and loading.
