ABSTRACT:
This apparatus proposes to sequentially deploy stores, such as mines or missiles, from a moving vehicle, such as an airplane or ship, at a predetermined rate and velocity. It includes modular palletized stowage of these stores, limited in size and shape only by vehicle weight and/or space considerations, devices to lock the pallets together and to the vehicle, a cradle to support and facilitate propulsion of the stores prior to launch, a drive mechanism to propel the stores through the pallets, and devices to properly release each store from the vehicle and from its cradle.
