It is an object of the present invention to provide a quick deployment vehicle which will free fall in the ocean along a substantially vertical trajectory and penetrate the bottom to a desired depth. Still another object is to provide a quick deployment vehicle particularly suited for transponders, beacons and the like, which will embed in the ocean bottom in an upright position with the transducer remaining above the sediment regardless of its consistency. A further object is to provide a quick deployment vehicle which can be launched from a submarine or surface vessel to a predictable geodetic position on the ocean floor, and which can be used in a beacon navigation system for quickly and accurately determining the geodetic position of a submarine or surface vessel. A still further object is to provide a quick development vehicle which is relatively simple and inexpensive to manufacture and operate, and which is reliable and expendable.
