The launcher rail for missiles consists of an elongated, rectangular housing having a profiled rail which has an interior which is open at one end (on one side). Two guide grooves in which adjustable-height profiled strips are arranged are provided on the two outer longitudinal sides of the rail. In addition, two longitudinal grooves are provided in the interior for the accommodation of an adaptor rail whose interior is matched to a sliding element of another missile which is to be launched. <IMAGE>
