ABSTRACT:
A missile launch system is disclosed that allows for the rapid reloading of missiles in support of missions (e.g., littoral warship missions, etc.) that require a high-volume assault of one or more targets. In particular, the illustrative embodiment of the present invention uses a munitions module that is capable of launching missiles and is able to fit inside a warship. In addition to accommodating multiple missiles, the munitions module accommodates one or more missile types. The munitions module is configured with a door at a breech end to provide access to multiple launch cells for the rapid reloading of missiles. The door is physically configured to define a plenum that couples the launch cells to an exhaust duct for the purpose of venting exhaust gases. The munitions module mitigates some of the problems associated with launch systems in the prior art.
