Abstract:
A system comprising a clamp assembly configured to capture an unmanned underwater vehicle, wherein the clamp assembly comprises a first arm, a second arm, and an extending rod assembly, wherein the first arm and second arm have a first end and a second end and are configured to form a hollow chamber when connected on both ends, wherein first arm and second arm are connected at the first end with the extending rod assembly, wherein the extending rod assembly comprises an extending rod that is configured to project downward when first arm and second arm are in an open position and is configured to retreat inside the extending rod assembly when the first arm and second arm are in a closed position, wherein a spring-loaded latch and a pin on the second end of the first arm and second arm are configured to automatically catch and lock upon closure.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for capturing and locking an unmanned underwater vehicle comprising the steps of:\n using a clamp assembly comprising an extending rod coupled to a first arm and a second arm, wherein the first arm and second arm are configured to open and close, and wherein the first arm and second arm form a hollow chamber upon closure; configuring the extending rod to be lowered when first arm and second arm are open and retreated when first arm and second arm are closed; when first arm and second arm are open, pushing an unmanned underwater vehicle against the extending rod, forcing the extending rod to retreat and resulting in closure of the first arm and second arm; using a spring loaded latch coupled to the first arm and a pin coupled to the second arm to automatically lock the first arm and second arm upon closure, and using a release lever coupled to the first arm to unlock the clamp assembly.
