System and method for shock isolation in a launch system

摘要

A projectile launching system includes a shock isolator 220 of at least three planar resilient support members defining a circumferential wall extending vertically between the projectile mounting frame 214 and a base portion 206. The shock isolator defines an opening through the isolator that provides for the uninterrupted flow of expelled rocket gases, as well as underside access to the projectile mounting frame. Each planar resilient support member forms an integral spring arrangement within the support member.
