A multi-purpose missile launcher system for a military land vehicle that has the capability for direct targeting both short and medium range land targets, as well launching missiles against longer-range land targets or air targets using indirect targeting. The multi-purpose missile launcher system is deployed as part of a modular weapon system that mates with a modular bed of the military land vehicle.

Multi-purpose missile launcher system for a military land vehicle

A multi-purpose missile launcher system for a military land vehicle that has the capability for direct targeting both short and medium range land targets, as well launching missiles against longer-range land targets or air targets using indirect targeting. The mulit-purpose missile launcher system is deployed as part of a modular weapon system that mates with a modular bed of the military land vehicle.

The multipurpose launcher and controls disclosed herein relates to a modular, expandable system with several operational and combat mission options for surface ships. Particularly, the system enables growth in both structure and controls to enable a staged build up, an upgrade or a turnkey system which can launch different types of missiles, rockets, chaff and decoy. More particularly, the system's modularity in both structure and controls enables it to adopt to a variety of existing and future mission requirements. The multipurpose launcher provides trainability and pointing capability for optimal area coverage and for ordnance requiring precise target placement. The system is reconfigurable and modular to obtain a desired ship class mission capability.
