PROTECTIVE LAUNCHERS FOR MISSILES AND ROCKETS,

Abstract

Missile systems have generally been confined to having the missile separated from the launcher in a shipping and storage container. Only during a tactical operation has the missile and launcher become a unit. When the missile has been removed from the container, protection from environmental conditions ceases. For future missile systems, the development of a launcher which can also afford environmental protection to the missile(s) is highly desirable. This report is intended as a guide for use in the development of protective launchers. (Author)
