Rocket launcher with inductive connection to rockets - includes seven parallel tubes of synthetic material surrounded by induction windings

摘要

The rocket launcher includes an assembly of seven tubes (1) of glass fibre held together by an epoxy resin. Primary inducting windings (2) are wound around these tubes to form an inductive link with secondary windings in the rockets. The tubes are held in position in line by an upper girder (3) with mounting points (4). Blocks (6) fit in between the tubes to support them in their relative positions. The girder and blocks are made of a light alloy. Tie rods (7) connect together the front (8) conical portion and the rear flat part of the launcher, with these parts also being made of light alloy. A thin sleeve (13) encloses the whole assembly. The terminal (14) connects the rocket launcher to the firing control, and firing contacts (16) connect the rocket launcher to each of the rockets. The casing (5) includes interface circuitry linking these two terminals.
