Abstract

The article presents a technical review on the development of deep-sea complex with a working depth of immersion and towing of 6000 m in the 1980s at the Shirshov Institute of Oceanology of the USSR Academy of Sciences. The complex was devoted to studies of the bottom surface and underwater objects in the interests of the Hydrographic Service of the Russian Navy. The complex consists of two towed uninhabited underwater vehicles “Sound-Complex” and “SoundMAFT”. A special hydrographic vessel with a displacement of 2600 tons was converted for deep-sea towing and storage of these devices. Computer CM1420 was used for the ship’s automated system for collecting and processing information coming from an underwater hydro acoustic navigation system, a proton magnetometer, a TV system, and side and frontal sonars. The complex was operated until 1992 in the Atlantic Ocean, the Black, Mediterranean and Baltic Seas, and was decommissioned in the early 1990s. Modern issues of the operation of industrial pipelines require understanding of experience and the creation of towed uninhabited underwater vehicles at a new technological level.
