  • Patent number: 11629938
    Abstract: The invention provides a suspended catamaran target boat, including a deck, a suspension structure and two buoyancy units, the suspension structure is connected to upper sides of the two buoyancy units, and the deck is mounted on the suspension structure; the suspension structure includes at least two suspension assemblies including an upper base, a lower base and two support rods. The support rods are hinged between the upper base and the lower base, and the upper base, the lower base and the two support rods form a four-bar linkage mechanism, where a shock absorber and a restricting mechanism are installed between the upper base and the lower base. The deck is provided with a main controller, an acceleration sensor and a heel sensor, and the main controller is respectively electrically connected with the acceleration sensor, the heel sensor and each of the restricting mechanisms of the two suspension assemblies.
