System for launching and recovering marine and submarine devices assisted by tiltable protective components

A system comprising a ramp and a device for launching and recovering a marine or submarine device from a support vessel, said device including a carriage and at least one protective component, wherein:

• each of said protective components is connected to the carriage by a pivot connection of which the axis is parallel to the surface of the water when said device is secured to said vessel;
• at least one of said protective components is adapted to raise said marine or submarine device partially or totally out of the water during a recovery and to place said marine or submarine device in or partially in the water during a launch by rotation of said protective component or elements about said carriage;
• said carriage and said ramp are connected by a sliding connection;
• said ramp is fastened to said vessel;
• at least one of said protective components is adapted to raise or to deposit said marine or submarine device by contact with an element chosen from at least a wing of said marine or submarine device, at least one lateral protuberance of said marine or submarine device and the hull of said marine or submarine device;
• said system includes at least one sliding zone situated along said ramp, in contact with said protective part and fastened to said vessel, and wherein
• at least one of said protective components is adapted to cooperate with said sliding zone to cause said marine or submarine device to move from a support of at least one of said protective components to a support of said ramp or from said support of said ramp to said support of at least one of said protective components.
