The patent relates to a helicopter carried, towline recovery buoy system which includes a package containing a retrieval line, inflatable buoys, and buoy inflating devices. A support and release mechanism releases the package response to dropping of the towline. The buoys and retrieval line are automatically deployed to permit recovery of the towline by grappling from a helicopter. (Author)
