ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for deploying one or more submissiles (15) from a carrier missile (25) whereby each submissile (15) is deployed into a flight path which is initially parallel to a streamline (20) of the fluid flow contiguous to the carrier missile (25). An ejection mechanism (45) has a submissile support member (105) oriented substantially parallel to the streamline (20) at the point where the submissile (15) is separated from the support member (105). The ejection mechanism (45) also provides a minimum side force to the submissile (15) which is proportional to a speed of the carrier vehicle (25). Provisions are also made to reduce or minimize any change in the aerodynamic characteristics of the carrier missile (25) after a submissile (15) has been deployed.
