  • HIGH-CAPACITY LIGHTWEIGHT VARIABLE BUOYANCY SYSTEM
    Publication number: 20240025525
    Abstract: Techniques and architectures are disclosed for a system capable of creating large changes in buoyancy that can be incorporated into underwater vehicles, embodiments of the system utilizing edge-welded, metal bellows disposed within a pressure vessel to balance a pressure differential across the bellows while using the bellows to displace fluid and thereby alter the buoyancy of a vehicle on which the system is disposed.

  • Underwater guidance systems, unmanned underwater vehicles and methods
    Patent number: 7495999
    Abstract: An unmanned underwater vehicle for use in water and with at least one acoustic signal source includes a vehicle body, a steering mechanism to direct the vehicle body through the water, a propulsion device to force the vehicle body through the water, and an adaptive Doppler guidance and control (ADGC) system. The ADGC system is configured to receive acoustic signals from the at least one acoustic signal source and to control the steering mechanism using changes in at least one frequency component of the received acoustic signals caused by Doppler shifts.

  • Water submersible communications devices and methods for using the same
    Patent number: 7496000
    Abstract: A water submersible communications device for use on a body of water includes a housing and a communications module. The housing has a geometric centroid. The housing is submersible in and floatable on the body of water. The communications module is mounted on and/or in the housing. A center of buoyancy of the communications device is located substantially at the geometric centroid of the housing.
