  • Patent number: 9784532
    Abstract: A missile launcher is provided for ship integration. In particular, the missile launcher affords a simple and safe integration onto a surface, such as a deck of a naval vessel, for example. The missile launcher includes a box launcher to house and launch the missiles and a pedestal to support and orient the box launcher. The box launcher provides protection from the natural environment as well as protection from other threats to the system. The box launcher is designed to enable missiles not normally designed for use in a harsh environment to be used in such an environment.
