Missile container and method of operating a missile container

摘要

A missile container has a container housing, one or a plurality of canisters stored therein for supporting a missile, and a movement mechanism for moving the canister from a storage position into an operating position. The missile container is efficiently transferred from a storage state into a combat state, in which the canister is in a combat-ready position for firing the missile, by providing a movement mechanism with a kinematic linkage for pivoting the canister.
