Abstract:
1. A mobile missile launch system, said system comprising: a vehicle having a chassis structure adapted to carry the launch system; a mounting frame comprising predetermined truss framework mounted onto the chassis structure; a plurality of sliding mechanisms mounted at a rear end of the mounting frame comprising: a beam comprising a plurality of sliders on one surface of the beam and hinged to the mounting frame on another surface of the beam, a plurality of saddles mounted onto the beam and adapted to slide on the sliders, a tube having openings and being fixed to at least one of the plurality of saddles at one end of the tube and an end cap at an other end of the tube, and an actuator connected to the tube through a piston and a rod and hinged at one end on the beam, wherein actuation of said piston contacts the rod with end cap of the tube to slide the saddles on the sliders; a plurality of canisters mounted onto said beam and a plurality of missiles ensconced within the canisters; a plurality of containers enclosing said canisters and connected to the saddles for linear movement; a plurality of resting units abutting to rear ends of the canisters and adapted to move linearly to transfer reaction forces from said missiles to the ground; communication means placed within the launch system to communicate with a remotely located unit; and at least one locking mechanism and at least one holding device mounted at a front end of each container to arrest linear motion of the container during mobility in a horizontal position.
