A launch canister for a missile, including an outer canister shell and a concentric inner liner. The inner liner augments the canister shell with structural load capability and bending inertia to enhance canister stiffness. The inner liner can be constructed from structural load carrying composite materials, and also acts as a thermal and ablative insulator to enable vertical plume venting away from the enveloped missile. A shock and vibration isolation layer can be laminated between the inner liner and canister shell.
