Boat deployed explosive net assembly

A boat deployable explosive net assembly, comprising:

• (a) a boat floatable on and movable along a surface of a body of water in a given direction of travel;
• (b) an elongated tray mounted to said boat and adapted to undergo rotational movement relative to said boat between a transport position in which said tray is aligned in a generally parallel relation to said direction of travel of said boat and a deployed position in which said tray is aligned in a generally transverse relation to said direction of travel of said boat, said tray also adapted to undergo telescoping movement between a retracted condition in which said tray has a first length and an extended condition in which said tray has a second length greater than said first length, said tray including
• (i) an outer member having a top, a pair of opposite ends and a pair of opposite portions defining an interior cavity extending along said opposite portions between said opposite ends and open along said top of said outer member,
• (ii) a pivot member pivotally mounting said outer member to said boat such that said opposite portions of said outer member extend in opposite directions away from said pivot member and said pivot member adapts said outer member to undergo said rotational movement between said transport and deployed positions relative to said boat, and
• (iii) a pair of inner members each having a top and a pair of opposite ends and defining an interior compartment extending between said opposite ends and open along said top of said inner member, each of said inner members being slidably mounted within said interior cavity of said outer member along a respective one of said end portions of said outer member and being telescopingly movable in relation to said outer member between said retracted condition of said tray in which said inner members are disposed substantially within said interior cavity of said outer member providing said tray at said first length and said extended condition of said tray in which said inner members are disposed substantially exteriorly of said outer member providing said tray at said second length;
• (c) an explosive net carried by said tray in a stored condition when said tray is in said transport position and said retracted condition and during movement to said deployed position and said extended condition, said explosive net being deployable from said tray when said tray is in said deployed position and said extended condition;
• and
• (d) a pair of pontoons each floatable on and movable along the surface of the body of water and mounted adjacent to a respective one of said opposite ends of each of said inner members of said tray located farthest from said pivot member.
