A very short range missile launcher comprises a magazine (10) rotatable about a vertical axis and carrying a number of missiles (11, 35) vertically. An electronically steerable radar is mounted above the magazine. On perceiving a threat a wall member (12) hinged along its lower edge (13) and carrying a number of missiles loaded from the magazine is opened by an elevation control (18). An electro-optic tracker (17) is mounted on the hinged wall member for launch determination. Deflector plates (21) are mounted on the hinged wall to deflect the missile exhaust. In a further arrangement opposed end wall members (33, 34) carrying missiles are rotated by an elevation control (36, 37). Missiles are supported in the magazine between upper and lower conveyors (41, 42) operated by an indexing control (58, 59, 68) for loading missiles for launch. |
