ABSTRACT:
A launching tube accommodates sonobuoys of differing lengths for individually launching the sonobuoys. Compressed gas modules located between the sonobuoys are individually activated by electrical signals to expel respective sonobuoys from the launching tube. Electrical contacts on the modules engage electrically conducting guides on the inner surface of the launching tube whereby the electrical signals are communicated individually to respective ones of the modules.
