Abstract: An anti-roll system for a missile launcher mechanism is disclosed wherein an ejector foot, operatively associated with the launcher to eject the missile from the launcher, has a pair of tabs which contact missile latching lugs on the missile to prevent roll of the missile about its longitudinal axis during missile launching. When carried by the aircraft, the missile is latched by a latching system against the ejector foot to provide stable support for the missile during aircraft maneuvering. When the missile is launched, the latching system is unlatched and the ejector foot urges the missile away from the launcher. At the end of its movement, the missile continues its movement away from the launcher and separates from the ejector foot. The missile typically has a pair of latching lugs that extend from the outer periphery of the missile body and which are gripped by the missile latching system.
