This site within the International Underwater Storage web site examines the potential for CHECKMATE in Military environments.

CHECKMATE could be delivered to its chosen location either overtly or covertly depending on payload application. Delivery could be by surface vessel, submarine or aircraft into a fixed position in the sea-bed, ready to fulfill its designated role.

Following launch, CHECKMATE will bury itself to the depth required for its role to provide a stable and low cost platform for its assigned mission.
