Abstract(s)
Através da eclusa, os submarinos da classe Tridente têm a capacidade de planear, lançar, operar e recolher Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) do seu interior. Teses anteriores, estudaram e melhoram esta vantagem, dando espaço para pensar nas utilidades destes veículos uma vez no exterior do submarino.
Pretende-se projetar um possível método de utilização para dois tipos de operações, Mine Countermeasures (MCM) e Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), que permitam ao AUV ser uma extensão do submarino, sendo mais um instrumento na recolha de informação. A capacidade de operar longe e autonomamente traz a vantagem de se conseguir esclarecer o panorama com risco reduzido para o submarino.
A Marinha Portuguesa usa, na atualidade, dois AUV destintos: o SeaCon 2 projetado pela Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto (FEUP) e o Gavia 19. Sendo o primeiro um projeto ainda em evolução, procura-se sugerir o próximo estádio do veículo tendo em conta as características operacionais que este devia ter. Assim como propor, tendo em conta as características anteriormente mencionadas, quais os veículos mais adequados, dentro do mercado, para desempenhar os dois tipos de operações.
A abordagem ao primeiro tema teve o uso de um exercício de resposta aberta, criado para recolher as ideias de oficiais submarinistas da Marinha Portuguesa sobre como devem operar o submarino para utilizar os AUV.
Relativamente ao segundo aspeto, colocou-se questionários com respostas fechadas aos operadores para averiguar quais as características operacionais “ideais” que um AUV deve ter para melhor desempenhar a sua missão.
Through the lock, the Tridente class submarines have the capacity of planning, launching, operating and recovering Autonomous Underwater Vehicles from within. Previous thesis, studied and improved this advantage, giving space to think in the utilities of these vehicles once outside the submarine. It is intended to project a possible method of using the AUV for two kind of operations, Mine Countermeasures and Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, that allow the vehicles to be an extension of the submarine, being one more instrument to gather information. The ability to operate far and autonomously enables the advantage of being able to get an overview of the surroundings with minimal risk for the submarine. The portuguese navy, at the present, operates two distinct AUV: SeaCon 2 projected by the Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto and Gavia 19. The first, still being an evolving project, it’s suggested a possible next stage of the vehicle in accordance with the operational characteristics it should has. As well as recommend, attending the previously mentioned characteristics, which are the most fitted vehicles, at the market, to perform the two kind of operations. The approach at the first topic had the introduction of an exercise with open answers, created to gather the ideas of portuguese navy’s officers that navigated on submarines about how the submarine should be operated to use AUV. To desenvolve the second aspect, several operators were inquired to discover which were the “ideal” operational characteristics that an AUV should has to better perform its missions.
