ABSTRACT:
A self-aligning adapter used for attaching a booster to a missile includes a hollow tapered receptacle positioned on the missile. A tapered member sized and shaped to fit into and mate with the receptacle is positioned on the booster. The tapered member fits into the tapered receptacle to align and attach the booster to the missile. A linear explosive charge is positioned on the booster around where the tapered member is joined to the booster. Explosion of the charge severs the tapered member from the booster releasing the booster from the missile.
