UNDERWATER WEAPON SYSTEMS

An underwater weapon system comprises a container 11 for a self-propelled weapon with target homing means, the container including pumps 16, 17 having inlets 18, 19 on the underside of the container to pump silt, gravel etc. from underneath the container whereby the container can be buried or partially buried in the sea bed. Reverse operation of the pumps raises the container which is opened automatically, e.g. with a radio control system 22 to release the weapon when the weapon is to be used.
