Particularly, the system enables growth in both structure and controls to enable a staged build up, an upgrade or a turnkey system which can launch different types of missiles, rockets, chaff and decoy. More particularly, the system's modularity in both structure and controls enables it to adopt to a variety of existing and future mission requirements. The multipurpose launcher provides trainability and pointing capability for optimal area coverage and for ordnance requiring precise target placement. The system is reconfigurable and modular to obtain a desired ship class mission capability.
