ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a launcher-missile system with the launcher tube provided with a configuration on its aft end so as to reduce the tip-off rates of the system. The configuration comprises the formation of an open sector in the flared end of the launcher tube so that a portion of the exhaust gases exiting from the tube, as the missile is fired, does not impinge on that sector of the flared end and thus an impulse caused by the impinging of the gases on the remainder of the flared end reduces the tip-off rate.
Also disclosed is a means in which the size and location of the open sector can be selected depending upon the desired change in magnitude and direction of the tip-off rate.
