Abstract:
A boat deployable explosive net assembly, comprising:(a) a boat floatable on and movable along a surface of a body of water in a given direction of travel;(b) an elongated tray mounted to said boat and adapted to undergo rotational movement relative to said boat between a transport position in which said tray is aligned in a generally parallel relation to said direction of travel of said boat and a deployed position in which said tray is aligned in a generally transverse relation to said direction of travel of said boat, said tray also adapted to undergo telescoping movement between a retracted condition in which said tray has a first length and an extended condition in which said tray has a second length greater than said first length; and(c) an explosive net carried by said tray in a stored condition when said tray is in said transport position and said retracted condition and during movement to said deployed position and said extended condition, said explosive net being deployable from said tray when said tray is in said deployed position and said extended condition.
