Abstract
A multi-store launcher has each store in a stacked sequence releasably held y a swinging paddle assembly against the ejection force of negator springs. Each paddle assembly carries a burn resistor that is wired to maintain the paddles in a locked position. A pneumatic pulse from the transporting vehicle causes electronic circuitry to make the resistor fail, freeing the paddles to open away from the store and thereby allowing it to be ejected by the negator springs.
