Abstract: A rocket launcher system and a method for controlling a rocket launcher system. The rocket launcher system is placed below deck on a ship to improve the ship's stealth capability and includes a launcher, a charger and a magazine containing one or more different types of rocket missiles. According to the method for controlling the rocket launcher system, an operating signal including preparation data is transferred to the rocket launcher system from one or more operators. The preparation data is transferred to a rocket missile and a charger takes the rocket missile from a magazine and charges a launcher. A hatch in the ship's deck is opened, and the launcher sights the rocket missile at a target area.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a rocket launcher system and a method for controlling a rocket launcher system. The rocket launcher system (1) is placed below deck (100) on a ship to improve the ship's stealth capability and comprises a launcher (11, 15), a charger (12, 15) and a magazine (13) containing one or more different types of rocket missiles (3). The method for controlling the rocket launcher system (1) comprises transferring of an operating signal (6), comprising preparation data, to the rocket launcher system from one or more operators (2; 21, 22, 23, 24, 25). The preparation data is transferred to a rocket missile (3) and a charger (12) is caused to fetch the rocket missile from a magazine (13) and charge a launcher (11). A hatch (101) in the ship's deck (100) is opened, and the launcher is caused to sight the rocket missile (3) at a target area (4).

Abstract: A high power ferrite microwave phase shifter that is both compact and low cost. The ferrite phase shifter includes a waveguide having a first cylinder and a second cylinder, the radius of the second cylinder being less than the radius of the first cylinder. The second cylinder is disposed within the first cylinder such that the two cylinders have a common axis of symmetry. The waveguide includes a first septum formed as a disk and disposed within the second cylinder. The disk has a pie-shaped aperture formed therethrough and is centrally disposed within the second cylinder so that the two cylinders and the disk share the same axis of symmetry. The second cylinder has an opening formed therethrough that is aligned with the pie-shaped aperture. The waveguide further includes a second septum that extends from the first cylinder to the disk center while bisecting the pie-shaped aperture, thereby separating an input from an output of the ferrite phase shifter.
