CEL has beveloped a new lightweight propellant-actuated embedment anchor with a nominal long-term holding capacity of 10,000 pounds (45 kN). Through the use of stock components, the anchor can be inexpensively fabricated and used. Land tests have demonstrated the structural integrity of the design and verified the predicted ballistic performance. Sea tests were conducted in a coral seafloor at Midway Island. The anchors that were successfully embedded indicated holding capacties on the order of 30,000 pounds (45 kN). Further testing is required to ascertain the system's reliability in other seafloor materials, but the 10K anchor should provide the Navy with an easily handled, medium-holding-capacity anchor.
