The system includes at least one deployment unit, each unit including a housing for stowing a charge in a stowed position; means for mounting a charge within the deployment unit; means for controllably moving a charge and mounting means from the stowed position to a deployment position; means for controllably releasing a charge from the mounting means; and a controller for controlling each moving means. It further relates to an unmanned vehicle, such as an unmanned underwater vehicle, including such a charge deployment system for ordnance neutralization.
