Okay, here's another one:

Big cargo plane comes in for approach, the back door opens up, an
arresting hook comes out. It is attached to a LAPES sled/pallet.
The hook grabs an arresting cable, the release force threshold is
reached. the cargo is pulled from the aircraft cargo bay and onto the
deck.

The arresting cable system slows down the load and keeps it from going
too far.
