ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided for the adaptation of a container of artillery rockets to a launcher apparatus for such rockets. A box-like launcher frame is disposed on a support structure, especially a vehicle chassis, and is pivotable in elevation and azimuth. At least one container, which has a right-angled cross-section and contains a plurality of artillery rockets, is adapted to be inserted from one end into the launcher frame. At least one adjustment module in the form of an essentially rectangular flat panel is provided. For a container having outer dimensions smaller than inner dimensions of the launcher frame, the adjustment module is disposable on the upper side and/or the underside of the container and is securable thereto. The outer dimensions of the adjustment module are such that when an adjustment module or modules are disposed on the container, the unit formed thereby has outer dimensions that correspond to the inner dimensions of the launcher frame.
