Black box recorder with satellite transmitter (BSAT) for underwater vehicles

A Black box with Satellite Transmitter (BSAT) for an underwater vehicle the BSAT comprising:

• a sealed enclosure, having a top cover mounted on a bottom base, to receive and transmit at least one of infrared (IR) and electromagnetic signals, the sealed enclosure comprises a housing mechanism connectable to the vehicle;
• a Global Positioning System (GPS) with an antenna configured inside the enclosure, to provide plurality of GPS parameters of the BSAT;
• a transmit antenna configured inside the enclosure, to transmit the GPS parameters associated with the BSAT and plurality of parameters associated with the underwater vehicle;
• an electronic controller configured to perform at least one of sending control signal to the IR transceiver, communicating through the IR transceiver to acquire and store underwater vehicle parameters, identifying of ejection instant, acquiring and storing of data from the GPS, scheduling data transmission through satellite after ejection of the BSAT from the underwater vehicle;
• a memory to store data associated with the GPS and plurality of parameters associated with the underwater vehicle;
• and
• an ejection mechanism configured in communication with the electronic controller to eject the BSAT from the vehicle on detecting a pre-defined condition by the electronic controller.
