Abstract

A method for operating a mine-sweeping system and corresponding mine-sweeping system, wherein the mine-sweeping system includes at least one drone for detonating sea mines. The drone has at least one magnet element for magnetically detonating the sea mines. The method includes a) translationally moving the at least one drone in the water and b) carrying out a first rotational movement of the drone with respect to a first degree of rotational freedom.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 .- 15 . (canceled) 
     
     
         16 . A method for operating a mine-sweeping system, wherein the mine-sweeping system comprises at least one drone for detonating sea mines, wherein the drone comprises at least one magnet element for magnetically detonating the sea mines, wherein the method comprises:
 a) translationally moving the at least one drone in the water, and   b) carrying out a first rotational movement of the drone with respect to a first degree of rotational freedom, characterized in that the drone has a longitudinal axis,   wherein the first degree of rotational freedom corresponds to a rotational movement about the longitudinal axis.   
     
     
         17 . The method as claimed in  claim 16 , further comprising:
 c) carrying out a rotational movement of the drone with respect to an additional second degree of rotational freedom.   
     
     
         18 . The method as claimed in  claim 17 , further comprising:
 d) varying a diving depth of the drone.   
     
     
         19 . The method as claimed in  claim 16 ,
 wherein the at least one magnet element of the drone is a permanent magnet.   
     
     
         20 . The method as claimed in  claim 16 ,
 wherein the at least one magnet element of the drone is an electrical coil element.   
     
     
         21 . The method as claimed in  claim 20 , further comprising:
 e) varying an operating current of the electrical coil element over time.   
     
     
         22 . The method as claimed in  claim 16 ,
 wherein the drone is a self-driven drone.   
     
     
         23 . The method as claimed in  claim 16 ,
 wherein steps a) and b) take place simultaneously.   
     
     
         24 . The method as claimed in  claim 16 ,
 wherein steps a) and b) take place successively.   
     
     
         25 . The method as claimed in  claim 16 ,
 wherein the mine-sweeping system comprises a plurality of drones for detonating sea mines.   
     
     
         26 . A mine-sweeping system, comprising:
 at least one drone for detonating sea mines,   wherein the drone comprises at least one magnet element for magnetically detonating the sea mines,   wherein the drone comprises at least one control element for bringing about a first rotational movement of the drone with respect to a first degree of rotational freedom,   wherein the drone has a longitudinal axis,   wherein the first degree of rotational freedom corresponds to a rotational movement about the longitudinal axis.   
     
     
         27 . The mine-sweeping system as claimed in  claim 26 ,
 wherein the at least one drone is a self-driven drone.   
     
     
         28 . The mine-sweeping system as claimed in  claim 26 ,
 wherein the control element is a rudder, a flap, or a motor.   
     
     
         29 . The mine-sweeping system as claimed in  claim 26 ,
 wherein the mine-sweeping system comprises a plurality of drones for detonating sea mines.
