Deneye dispenser- request for info

This one is a real rare beauty.

All I can find is a DTIC study at China Lake and no PDF link. It was an aerial mine dispenser system.

I am interested in development, production, tech aspects and variants, if that applies.

As far as I know, Deneye project was dropped quickly by the DoD.

PS I didn't find anything via BOCN search. Nothing on WK2 either.

:-( bummer.

Thanks guys.
 
The Deneye was experimented on at China Lake from 1962 up through at least 1965. If you go through the photo records at that time you can find this material. It appears that there were 2 Deneye mines, AP and AT. I used the same filenames that were used by China Lake, so if you look at them, you can tell which year the photos were created.

Alright! Thanks a bunch.

The China Lake photo archive is really a blast from the past.

I think according to an old Wiki source Aerojet General did the development for the Deneye.
I may be wrong though...
