Multiple missile launcher structure with interchangeable containerized missiles and chimneys

摘要

A structure for holding canisterized missiles or similarly dimensioned chimneys includes a structure which defines an array of canister/chimney holding chambers. The structure has a plenum at its lower end, which allows missile exhaust to communicate with one or more chimneys. At the upper end, the structure may have movable hatches which are opened to allow the missile to leave and exhaust gases to be released by the chimney. <IMAGE>
