Opened, as a parachute

Usage examples of deployed.

And they've clearly gone ahead and deployed the sensor platforms to control the pods.

Those're probably at least as expensive as the pods themselves would be, so I'd say there's a good chance they wouldn't have deployed them if they hadn't also deployed the pods for them to control.

If those additional missiles hadn't been shipped out and deployed, the recon platforms would have been reporting a far heavier system picket than they were actually seeing.

And then, like a cascading eruption of scarlet curses, dozens-scores-of previously deployed MDM pods began to fire all along the outer edge of the inner system.

Willoughby said, and Admiral Gammal al-Bakr's face appeared on the flatscreen display deployed from the left arm of Padgorny's command chair.

I would point out to you that it was for precisely this sort of circumstance that the outer-system LACs and pods were deployed in the first place.

And while it seemed likely that the torrent of missiles which had ravaged the task group had come from independently deployed pods, it was entirely possible they hadn't.

The odds were that Schneider's escape courses would take his LACs into the reach of still more of the deployed system defense pods.

Which, of course, meant the ships which had deployed the recon platforms producing them were still in the system receiving their reports.

I submit to you that the forces under your command, even assuming-as I do-that they're backed by a substantial number of previously deployed missile pods, can't hope to seriously damage my own units.

We've got pods on tow, we've got the system defense pods already deployed, and if they don't have any CLACs of their own, then at least they don't have any of those damned Katanas to throw at us.

I want only the Katanas deployed, strictly in the missile defense role.

Anyone care to speculate on whether or not they've deployed additional recon drones?

So what she's probably been doing is quietly using some of that near-planet 'merchant traffic' Sturgis reported to pick up and drop off previously deployed pods.

They rolled up on their sides to turn the bellies of their wedges towards the incoming fire while Keyhole platforms deployed far beyond the boundaries of their protective sidewalls, and counter-missile defense solutions were already cycling.
