| 20090188416 | FIN STABILIZER TO REDUCE ROLL FOR BOATS IN TURNS METHOD AND APPARATUS - The disclosure relates to a fin stabilization system adapted to minimize roll about the longitudinal axis of the boat during sharp cornering at very high speeds. In one form, equipment such as a machine gun is mounted to the bow of the boat and targets are adapted to be engaged in high-speed maneuvers when cornering and the deck of the boat is not excessively rolled whereby blocking visibility in a turn. | 07-30-2009 |
| 20090308297 | UNMANNED VESSEL - Unmanned marine vessels are disclosed featuring various structural properties. A raised deck leveling with the upper side of the vessel allows for larger compartments below deck and implicates special hatching considerations. A upper appliance support frame is provided for positioning external appliances on board the vessel. Air sucked in by the engine may be used to cool compartments of the vessel. Tie points of the vessel may be position on the deck. | 12-17-2009 |
| 20100058966 | DIVERSION OF SAILING VESSEL BY TETHERING METHOD AND APPARATUS THEREFOR WITH HARPOON MEANS - A method for diverting a sailing vessel is disclosed. A watercraft equipped with a harpoon having a hull-piercing head and a tail attached to a cable may swiftly approach the vessel in the aft position. Upon piercing the hull, an extraction-preventing means, such as spokes unfolded from the head, latching it in the hull and preventing the harpoon's withdrawal. Via a cable attached to the tail of the harpoon the watercraft may use low-speed high-traction propulsion means such as Voith-Schneider Propulsion (VSP) to pull and divert the vessel at the stern to a desired course. The watercraft may preferably have a combination of lifting hydrofoils with propellers and VSP propellers to provide the respective low-traction high-speed and high-traction low-speed modes of operation. | 03-11-2010 |
| 20120118212 | LOAD REDUCING STORES LAUNCH TUBE - Apparatuses, vehicles, and methods to reduce loads applied to a store when the store is launched from the vehicle are disclosed. A particular apparatus includes a launch chamber and a flap. The launch chamber has a first portion configured to receive a store. A second portion is configured to be positioned over an opening in a hull of a vehicle. The chamber has a forward end and an aft end. The flap is positioned a distance from the aft end of the launch chamber. The flap has a first end rotatably mounted proximate to the first portion of the launch chamber and has a second end extending toward the second portion of the launch chamber. The flap is configured to rotate about the first end when the store impacts the flap due to the forces applied to the store by the fluid when the store is launched. | 05-17-2012 |

| 20090090286 | Armed Remotely Operated Vehicle - A remotely operated vehicle system includes a vehicle having a propulsor and a steering means. A remote operating console is provided that is capable of providing power, receiving sensor signals and controlling the vehicle. The vehicle is connected to the console by a tether. The tether having elements supporting power, sensor and control transmission. The vehicle has video sensors and sonar sensors. An underwater gun is positioned on the vehicle and joined to the console to fire in response to control signals. In further embodiments the vehicle can be provided with a turret for aiming the gun and the video sensor. | 04-09-2009 |

| 20090050041 | Watercraft with a protective device against shaped/hollow charges - A watercraft includes a support structure and a protected space, object or the like within an outer shell of the support structure. To protect the space, object, or the like, for example, a sensitive subassembly in the watercraft, against threats posed by shaped charges, a protective device is positioned between the outer shell and the sensitive subassembly. The protective device includes a multitude of reactive protective elements arranged in a flexible support construction oriented at an angle to the direction of threat. And the support construction is connected, such as, with positive locking and/or friction locking and/or with substance-to-substance bond, to the support structure of the watercraft. | 02-26-2009 |

| 20080216727 | Stealth Armed Surface Ship - The invention relates to an armed stealth surface vessel ( | 09-11-2008 |
| 20100282150 | Foldable ramp for missile launchers - The foldable ramp is intended to store, carry and launch relatively large size tube-launched missiles typically on board of relatively small sized naval surface ships. Accordingly, the foldable ramp comprises a frame suitable for carrying one or more canisters for launching rockets or missiles and support elements, which are pivotably attached to the frame and which are adapted to pivotably connect to the launching platform so as to allow rotary movement of the frame with respect to the launching platform. A lifting device lifts the front end of the frame whereby the rear end of the canisters displace a horizontal distance towards the rear of the ramp as said lifting device lifts the frame. Adverse effects of the aft flame of the launched rocket or missile is securely displaced to the outside of the vehicle while foldability of the ramp enables to prevent or reduce radar and eye visibility of the launcher, particularly when mounted on a naval surface ship. | 11-11-2010 |
| 20120097086 | FLEET PROTECTION ATTACK CRAFT AND UNDERWATER VEHICLES - A marine vessel comprising a command module, first and second buoyant tubular foils, and first and second struts for connecting the first and second buoyant tubular foils to the command module, respectively, wherein the first and second buoyant tubular foils provide substantially all buoyancy required for the marine vessel, and wherein the marine vessel further comprises first and second engines enclosed within the first and second buoyant tubular foils, respectively, and first and second propulsion units connected to the first and second engines, respectively, for moving the marine vessel through water, and means for reducing drag on the vessel as the vessel moves through water. | 04-26-2012 |
