ABSTRACT:
A multiple missile launcher has a plurality of canister holding chambers. Each canister includes a standard connector for connection by a standard cable to a missile launch sequencer. Each canister is loaded with four missiles. The cable has more than enough signal paths to couple launch and safe signals to a single missile, but not sufficient to independently control four missiles. A missile selection signal generator generates selection signals which are sent over a selected one of four separate signal paths of the cable to directly (without intervening active elements) actuate a relay associated with the selected one of the missiles. The four relays are part of a multiplexer which couples the signal set for launch and safe to the selected one of the missiles.
