Does anyone use a tug tow hook that releases automatically when glider kites?
The camo paint would not be approved for use in CA or NY. Too evil looking,
don'tcha know... It would probably be OK in NJ as long as the release
mechanism did not incorporate a "hollow point".

I think we could combine an optical target designator from an air to air

the target lock with a speed above 20 Kts, and ring in the hook, and you
fire the bolts. Maybe we could get DARPA to fund it. Forget the
flashing light on the back of the tow plane, we will use the flare system
from a C130 to let everyone know what just happened. I'm in, anybody know
how to write a grant proposal? Explosive bolts, missile parts, really
cool flares, what's not to like?
And we mount it with a Picatinny rail - painted desert camo.
Totally tacticool!
