METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A TORPEDO, TORPEDO THEREFOR AND ANTENNA SECTION OF SUCH A TORPEDO

摘要

A method for controlling a torpedo to at least one target. In order to increase the range of the torpedo, the torpedo, during the travel thereof to the target, submerges once or several times into the near-surface region of a water system that is adjacent to the water surface, wherein, however, the torpedo also remains immersed in said near-surface region. The torpedo then extends a radio antenna into a surface region above the water surface and subsequently receives position data containing target position data of the target by way of said radio antenna and uses said position data to head for the target. The invention further relates to a torpedo comprising an antenna section having an extendable radio antenna. Further, the invention relates to such an antenna section.
