A remotely actuated fill and release device and deployment method can include a disc manifold having an upper surface, a lower surface and an outer circumferential surface. A fill passageway in the fill manifold can extend radially inward from the outer circumferential surface and can merge into a conical chamber, which can also be formed in disc manifold. The conical chamber can be formed with a maximum diameter proximate the upper surface and a minimum diameter proximate said lower surface. A release nose can be inserted into said conical chamber and fill bladder can be attached to the release nose. A FRANGIBOLT&#xae; can extend through the disc manifold and can be threaded into the release nose. A voltage can be selectively applied to the FRANGIBOLT&#xae;, which can fracture in response to the voltage, to selectively detach the release nose and fill bladder from the disc manifold without moving parts.
