Deck lock is one of several systems for automatically securing rotorcraft on the Helicopter decks of small ships. When the helicopter lands in such a way that the helicopter's harpoon is above the grid, the harpoon secures itself automatically to the grid through hydraulic actuators. A deck lock system was in use by the Royal Navy with its Westland Lynx aircraft, and presently with its AgustaWestland AW159 Wildcat helicopters.
