Abstract
The present invention relates to an anchor system which includes an anchor projectile section having an anchor body, beams pivotally connected at their lower end to the body and interconnected by flexible segments, a pressure storage or launching section having a launching tube in which the upper body of the projectile section is positioned for being launched therefrom, a drag plate secured around the launching section with substantial weight therein and sufficient diameter to create a large virtual water mass and hydrodynamic drag to resist upward movement of the launching section when the anchor projectile section is released for launching into the sea bottom, a remotely controlled collet connector securing the anchor projectile section within the launching section until the anchor is to be launched for setting in the bottom.
