The invention relates to a device for warding off objects (2) approaching a ship (1) under or on water by means of ammunition bodies (10) to be detonated below the water surface (3), comprising an ignition device programmable to the water depth at which the ignition is to be carried out automatically. In order to be able to selectively ward off objects (2) approaching the ship (1) in the event of the presumption of a threat, the invention provides detecting both the distance and the direction of the object (2) approaching by means of an underwater positioning system (5), and transmitting the data to the actuators of a launching device (7) of an ammunition launcher (8) that can be disposed on the ship (1) and positioned about two axes via a firing guide computer (6) such that after firing a respective ammunition body (10) the same strikes the water surface (3) above the object (2) at a precisely predefined region, or at a predetermined distance from said object (2).
La présente invention concerne un dispositif de protection contre des objets (2) sapprochant dun bateau (1) sous ou sur leau, à laide dun corps de munition (10) pouvant détoner au-dessous de la surface de leau (3) avec un système dallumage permettant de programmer la profondeur deau à laquelle lallumage doit seffectuer automatiquement. Lobjectif de linvention est de combattre de façon ciblée, et depuis le bateau, des objets (2) sapprochant du bateau (1) lorsquune menace est supposée. A cette fin, on détermine non seulement la distance mais aussi la direction de lobjet (2) qui sapproche à laide dune installation de localisation sous-marine (5) et on transmet ces données, par lintermédiaire dun calculateur de conduite de tir (6), aux mécanismes dactionnement dun dispositif de tir (7) dun lanceur de munitions (8) pouvant être monté sur le bateau (1) et dirigé autour de deux axes, si bien quaprès le lancement dun corps de munition (10) correspondant, celui-ci atteint la surface de leau (3) au-dessus de lobjet (2) dans une zone prédéfinie avec précision ou à une distance prédéfinie de cet objet (2).
