DEVICE AND METHOD FOR REMOVING UNEXPLODED ORDINANCE UNDER WATER

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for removing an unexploded ordnance which lies under water on the ground. The device is designed as a ordnance evacuation device (1) with a frame (5) for transport and positioning by a diving robot (ROV) and comprises, in addition to an explosive charge (4) with a detonator (34), one of the ordnance evacuation device (1) Detachable buoy (2) which then rises to the water surface (WO). In order to further develop a known device in order to make a corresponding method even more efficient by tapping additional cost and efficiency potentials with increased security and simplified handling, it is proposed that the ordnance disposal device (1) have a device (14) through which the buoy (2) can be detached from the ordnance evacuation device (1) by the ROV, this device (14) in the region of the frame (5) comprising a resiliently secured locking element, in particular in the form of a spring pin (20), which is operated by the diving robot (ROV) is removable.
