ABSTRACT:
Minesweep gear is suspended from an aircraft to be a selected height above the surface of the water for deployment and the sweep gear is selectively stowed within the container so that the sweep gear is selectively sequentially deployed with the sweep equipment which is to assume a position farthest from the towing aircraft being deployed first and the sweep equipment which is to assume a position closest to the towing aircraft being deployed last. The sweep lead wire is connected to the aircraft towing cable and, by remote control from the aircraft, the sweep gear can be so selectively deployed and thereafter towed by the aircraft, the container being jettisoned once the gear is deployed and the sweeping gear being jettisoned at the end of the sweeping operation.
