Object and purpose of research. The object of the research is a launcher for storage and launch of underwater vehicles by ice-class ships in ice conditions. The purpose of the research is to develop a ship system for the underwater vehicles operation in ice. Materials and methods. This paper analyses underwater vehicle operations from ice-class ships in ice conditions and concludes that in ice conditions these vehicles are impossible to launch from the moving mothership. The study followed common methods of analysis, analogy and modeling. Main results. The design of a promising universal shipborne vertical submarine launcher for storage and launching of underwater vehicles, as well as the method of its accommodation aboard the ship, is described. Proposals for the components and accommodation of the launcher aboard an ice-class ship have been worked out. The main hydrodynamic problems associated with the vertical downward launching processes are considered. Conclusion. The results of the research can further used to work out a concept for a shipborne vertical submarine launcher for storing and launching UV and its placement on advanced ice-class ship.
