Abstract (en)
[origin: EP2107335A1] A recovery device (2) for a torpedo (1), the device being housed in the torpedo and having a breakable housing (8) designed to in no way affect the streamline profile of the torpedo (1); an inflatable annular bag (13) housed in a circumferential seat (12) inside the housing (8); a pressurized-gas feed device (36); and actuating means (41, 45) for inflating the bag (13) with pressurized gas in the presence of an activating signal; inflation of the bag (13) detaches the housing (8), and the inflated bag (13) assumes a toroidal shape about the torpedo (1) to achieve positive buoyancy of and so raise the torpedo to the surface.
