Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2468621A1] The device has a clamp (71) mounted on a suspension unit (70) of a submersible/surface craft (12) and including arms (104, 106) moving in rotation between open and closed positions for gripping the craft. A conical docking unit (72) is mounted in rotation on the suspension unit, and receives an end of the craft so as to allow alignment of the craft with the docking unit. The docking unit is provided with an opening for passage of a cable connected to the craft. The suspension unit comprises deformable suspension columns (74, 76) extending downwardly from a horizontal main support beam (73). An independent claim is also included for a system for launching and recovering a submersible or surface craft, comprising a chassis fixed on a surface naval vehicle.
