Abstract
A launcher carried on the flatbed of a mobile vehicle to provide the dual le of missile transporter and pre-launch positioning of its multi-missile payload. The launcher is not trainable in azimuth or elevation. When emplaced the launcher carriage erects the missiles to substantially a 75.degree. launch angle and a missile is fired from a combination launch tube shipping container by a small propellant charge and uses its own control to put it on the proper trajectory. Missile motor ignition is delayed for a predetermined time after launch.
