Abstract (en)

[origin: EP2078918A2] The container (17) has a base (55) provided with several reclosable covers (56) and a partition (50) separating the container in to multiple tubes (51a, 51b). Each tube receives a missile, and the cover is arranged opposite to the tube. The cover is opened under pressure of missile propulsion gas contained in the corresponding tube and closed again after the ejection of the missile. The base has thermal protection unit to protect the covers from incident thermal radiation flow emitting during opening of the cover.
