Abstract (en)

A distributed launcher network (10) is modular in design, employing components which are easily added or subtracted as required by the size and number of the geographical areas to be covered. It employs one or more target sensors (12a-c) which collect target position information and feed it into a target data net (14). The target data net (14) integrates the target position information from the target sensors (12a-c) to form a summary of multiple target activity. One or more fire control centers (16a-b) are plugged into the target data net (14) receiving target position information. The fire control centers (16a-b) issue launch control orders to one or more airborne vehicles (20-a-e) through launchers (18a-e) assigned to their control. After launch, the fire control centers (16a-b) transmit updated target position information to the airborne vehicles (20a-e) under the control. <IMAGE>
