  • Missile launcher cell with exhaust gas uptake ducts, and array of such missile launcher cells
    Patent number: 6755111
    Abstract: An elongated missile launcher cell is structured to allow arraying into multiple-cell array. Each missile launcher cell of the array includes a support structure which accommodates a canisterized missile. Each cell also includes its own chimney and exhaust gas plenum, so that it may be used individually. Since each cell has its own missile exhaust capability, there is no need to keep one or more bays of a missile launcher array vacant to provide for venting of exhaust gases.
