ABSTRACT:
The system includes an elongated support structure positioned substantially central of the carrier missile, wherein the support structure includes a gas-actuated piston-like device which moves between a start position and an extended position. A series of elongated launch tubes, in which submissiles are positioned, are arranged around, and parallel to, the support structure. The forward end of each launch tube is pivotally connected to the central support structure. The other end of each launch tube is connected to the piston-like device through levers which are hinged at both ends, so that as the piston-like device moves, the rear end of the launch tubes move radially relative to the support structure, so that the launch tubes are at an angle relative to the carrier missile. In this position, the submissiles in the launch tubes may be ejected rearwardly of the carrier missile by an explosive charge or similar means.
