Basic requirements for television communications with laser illumination when creating integrated underwater vehicle search systems.

The intensive development of autonomous underwater robotic systems is of great importance for the development of the world’s oceans. One of the main problems of using underwater robotic systems is to increase the search performance of underwater vehicles based on the integration of the capabilities of onboard radio-electronic systems for obtaining information in various physical fields. Analyzing the physical basis of the search, including consideration of the environment of its conduct, objects, as well as means of detection, it can be noted that the result of conducting search operations of the same objects in the same water areas for different underwater robotic complexes depends on what means of detection they are equipped with. The presence of a certain composition of technical means will dictate the development of an optimal sequence of actions that make up the search algorithm. The creation of such algorithms in relation to the task of increasing the search potential of underwater robotics will determine the direction of scientific research that ensures the formation of an optimal underwater search system on it. The effective use of search resources justifies the conclusion that the radio-electronic means of underwater vehicles that form the underwater search system, in total, are a set of devices that are functionally combined with each other for its effective implementation. This association is aimed at forming the so-called integrated search system, which provides for the exchange of information between different search tools about all the objects found by them. The article presents the requirements for the creation of integrated search systems, taking into account practical experiments and experience in the design of underwater vehicles capable of implementing an optimal underwater search system based on laser technologies.
