  • Patent number: 5249162
    Abstract: An underwater object detection system and method are described which util changing phase relationships between radio waves received by a moving underwater receiver, via a retransmitting underwater object, and radio waves received through air directly from a transmitter. The moving underwater receiver is characterized by an envelope or encapsulation of material of different radio wave propagation rate than that of the water medium, so that a markedly different phase change relation exists when the underwater receiver is in contact with the object.

  • Patent number: 5245588
    Abstract: A regenerative radio-frequency wire detector is disclosed which incorpora a radio antenna and a radio receiver connected thereto. A radio transmitter is timely energized by an output signal from the aforesaid radio receiver which, in turn, causes the transmitting of electromagnetic energy within the environment ambient to the wire to be detected. A commercial radio station or other source is employed as a covert initial energizer of the wire to be detected. When so energized, said wire re-radiates electromagnetic energy to the receiving antenna which starts the regenerative processing within the system loop constituting the radio receiving antenna, the radio receiver, the radio transmitter, the transmitting radio antenna, the wire, and the environmental medium or mediums within which it is disposed. Due to the amplification effected by the aforesaid regeneration process, the detection of marine mine command wires, for example, is facilitated.

  • Patent number: 5007346
    Abstract: A device for detecting and/or sweeping electrically controlled mines, which evice will provide an indication of the presence of a control cable connected to the mine, and will serve as a countermeasure for such mines, by selectively detonating same after cutting of its control line after the sweeping vessel is beyond the mine's effective range. The circuitry of the device includes a high D.C. voltage source connected with a capacitor so as to charge the capacitor through a protective current limiting resistor, whereby the voltage is caused to discharge through the control cable so as to indicate the presence of the mine. An insulated blade type grapple knife system, to prevent inadvertent shorting of the detonating circuit, is used in conjunction with a sensitivity adjustable magnetometer and a switch to provide the desired safety range to permit the cutter to sever the mine's control cable without endangering the tow vessel or its personnel.

  • Patent number: 4992786
    Abstract: Apparatus is disclosed for detecting partially submerged wires and determng the location of the above water portion thereof by injecting into the submerged portion a radio frequency electrical signal, and utilizing radio direction finders to obtain a fix on the resulting radiating above water portion.
