Those. data enters the information exchange unit from the exchange network with external systems through Ethernet switches and/or from the exchange network with peripheral devices through exchange modules. As a result, various types of information are separated and sent to the appropriate modules (Ethernet switches or exchange modules, respectively). Thus, different types of data: AUV/submarine motion control data and data from peripheral devices are grouped. In this case, each group of data is fed simultaneously to several modules or switches, which ensures an increase in the reliability of data receipt due to the cross-connection of systems to the corresponding group of modules (switches).

Further, the received information enters the internal Ethernet network, through which it enters the processors of the information processing unit. Based on the results of information processing in the processors, problem solving is transferred from the processors of the information processing unit to the internal Ethernet network. The exchange of information between the processors within the device can also take place using the internal Ethernet network, which also additionally ensures the reliability of the device and creates an optimal dynamic redistribution of computing resources. From the internal Ethernet network, information can be transmitted directly to the operator's console (for example, the operator's console of the integrated combat control system - ISBU software) and autonomous unmanned underwater vehicles.

Further, if it is necessary to transfer information from the internal Ethernet network to the peripheral devices of the ISBU subsystems, the information is transmitted through the exchange modules of the information exchange unit.

The claimed device is powered from the ship's power supply network using a power support module connected to the power supply module, which also ensures the reliability of the device by reducing and redistributing the primary voltage of the ship's power supply network.
