ABSTRACT:
A missile launcher is provided with pyrotechnically-operated means for jettisoning the missile. The missile is hung under a sub-rail latched to the underside of the main launcher body and upon operation of the jettisoning means the sub-rail/missile combination is slid rearwardly to disengage the latches after which the combination is given a downward thrust away from the launcher body, the thrust being imparted just forward of the collective center of gravity of the missile/launcher combination to cause its downward departure to be assisted by negative lift. The jettisoning means may consist of a lever and linkage actuated by a gas-operated piston-and-cylinder.
