The firing assembly is a mechanical system that triggers the embedment sequence (Figure 4). A solid steel rod, which can be stowed with the probe above the end of the fluke, serves as the touchdown probe. When the rod is pulled down, spring-loaded pins lock the rod to the firing ring.

The firing assembly is a mechanical system that triggers the embedment sequence (Figure 4). A solid steel rod, which can be stowed with the probe above the end of the fluke, serves as the touchdown probe. When the rod is pulled down, spring-loaded pins lock the rod to the firing ring. Upon probe contact with the seafloor, the firing ring is moved upward, engaging the trigger arm of the S/A and releasing the firing pin. The S/A has a hydrostatic lock that prevents firing above a water depth of 10 to 12 feet (3 to 4m). The cartridge assembly consists of an aluminum or steel cartridge base that is epoxied to a phenolic cartridge case to form the propellant container. The ord- nance consists of 5-inch (1-27 mm)/38 caliber gun propellant (M6) and a shortened M58 primer (Figure 5). Table 2. Characteristics of CEL 10K Anchor Flukes Description Sand Clay Length, in.
