Abstract
A novel automatically submersible and refloatable underwater tubular pipe platform geometric structure adapted for deployment in underwater target monitoring systems and the like, wherein the floating upon the surface of the water enables flooding of the pipe structure and its submergence, and the introduction of compressed air drives the water out of the pipe platform structure to enable its automatic re-floating.
