ANCHOR CONTAINING A SELF DEPLOYING MOORING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF AUTOMATICALLY DEPLOYING THE MOORING SYSTEM FROM THE ANCHOR

摘要

An anchor (10) holds a variety of mooring system elements, including processor-controlled cable brakes (100a, 100b), prior to deployment of the anchor. The anchor is configured to automatically deploy the elements of the mooring system into a desired underwater configuration. A method of deploying an ocean anchor includes controlling cable brakes and results in the elements of the mooring system being deployed into a desired underwater configuration.
