Description

1 TARIFF Unmanned, Low Visibility, Autonomous Cargo and Landing Vessel Technical Field to Which the Invention Relates This invention is used in the defense industry and military logistics; in shallow waters, coastlines and Eliminating the risk of personnel loss in rivers with payload and unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) 5 autonomous, low-visibility (stealth) vehicles that perform transportation and self-defense tasks. It relates to marine vessels. State of the Art In today's battlefields, the vast majority of air, land, and sea operations are conducted by unmanned aircraft. It is carried out through systems. In the current technology, 10 unmanned aerial vehicles are used in the maritime area. The vehicles are primarily designed for kamikaze (suicide) or single-attack purposes. However, military Logistics, cargo transport, and UGV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) landing operations are still largely manned, relying on radar and thermal imaging. This is done with classic marine vessels that have a high footprint and are easy to detect. In coastal geographies. Providing logistical supplies with the existing vehicles is both extremely risky in terms of manpower and... It is operationally inefficient due to the inability to protect confidentiality. 15 use cases. Despite the presence of kamikaze or attack boats; logistical transport, UGV deployment, self-defense and an integrated platform that brings together low-visibility (stealth) functions It is not available. Purpose of the Invention and Solutions The primary purpose of the invention is to prevent the risk to human resources and to provide a high level of deterrence. an unmanned marine capable of performing autonomous logistics and landing missions to provide to offer the means. Another objective of the invention is to achieve flat bottom main hull (5) and trimaran side hulls (4) architecture. It offers maximum proximity to the shore in areas such as shallow seas and rivers, while in wavy environments. The goal is to provide the highest stability for cargo and UGV (Internal Control Mechanism) loads. 25 Another purpose of the invention is to utilize the porous material for which our company has previously registered a utility model. Combining carbon fiber cladding / structure with aerodynamic stealth fuselage geometry, it provides radar cross-section. to minimize the field, leave a low infrared (IR) signature proven in ANSI tests, and The goal is to make the vehicle resistant to sinking. 2 Another purpose of the invention is to provide artificial intelligence in addition to long-distance RF and satellite communication. Thanks to AI-powered image processing hardware, no external communication signals are detected. It is the ability to perform tasks fully autonomously by making its own decisions without any external assistance.

The trimaran has an architecture consisting of side hulls (4) positioned alongside it. its design is to deflect radar signals and provide a low radar cross-section (RCS). It has been developed in damping and dispersing geometry. 20 This stealth fuselage structure is topped with a protective layer that provides ballistic shielding and absorbs radar waves. It is coated with a porous carbon fiber coating. This integration gives the vehicle high buoyancy, This provides low submersibility and a low thermal (IR) signature. The carrying area on the fuselage can be used for military ammunition, supplies, or unmanned ground vehicles. It allows vehicles to be securely fastened. Vehicles approaching the shore in the operation area, 25 Unloading and loading controlled by means of hydraulic opening-closing mechanism (3) By opening its ramp (6), it enables the direct transfer of UCAVs and loads to the land. Near flat 3 The lower main body (5) structure minimizes the draft, allowing for a zero-shore approach in shallow waters. It provides the opportunity. Remotely controlled weapon / defense systems (2) integrated into the vehicle, deployment and disembarkation This enables the platform to defend itself and provide area protection during the operation. Artificial intelligence and communication module (1) located on the top of the platform; RF and satellite 5 In addition to communication equipment, data from environmental sensors and cameras is received in real-time. It has an AI unit with image processing capabilities. This allows the vehicle to function even when communication is interrupted. or, if prevented, to operate fully autonomously in its area of ​​responsibility without human intervention. It can navigate and complete the operation.
