ABSTRACT:
A container (1) for acting as a storage enclosure and launch tube for a missile (3), the container (1) comprising an integral missile efflux management system including an efflux deflector (1d) positioned for receiving the missile efflux and deflecting it into a series of ducts (8) which run alongside the missile to the missile exit end (16) of the container (1), which end may have an openable cover (7) operable to close both the missile exit and the exits from the ducts (8). The efflux deflector is a dome-shaped base-plate (1d) spaced from the ducts to define a plenum chamber. The particular interior shape of the base plate (1d) ensures optimum efflux management.
