A missile launching system for launching missiles from a mobile platform includes a rectangular primary carrier frame having a platform coupling structure for releasably fastening the first carrier frame to the mobile platform, and a launch tube. A locking device on the primary carrier frame includes a lock hook which projects from the primary carrier frame and has a receiving piece. A stop piece extends transverse to the receiving piece. A locking plate is inserted between the receiving piece and the stop piece. The launch tube has a fastening bracket with a fastening recess fitted onto the receiving piece and locked with the lock hook by inserting the locking plate between the stop piece and the receiving piece. Alternatively, two launch tube receiving devices are laterally attached to the primary carrier frame, each of which is designed as a closed frame defining a receiving opening.

A modular missile launch system for launching missiles from a mobile platform includes a rectangular first support frame having a first longitudinal beam having a platform coupling structure formed for releasably fastening the first support frame to the mobile platform. A second longitudinal beam arranged at a distance from the first longitudinal beam includes a first connecting structure on an underside and a launch tube securing structure for mounting a missile launch tube to the first support frame. The first connecting structure defines a first plug connection portion extending in a longitudinal direction, onto which a second support frame with a second plug connection portion can be plugged in the vertical direction, having at least two first through bores that are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction, through each of which one connecting device can be passed in order to secure the first and the second support frame.

An apparatus for launching, recovering, transporting, and storing vehicles is disclosed. The apparatus stabilizes the vehicle while it is in operation or inactive and has a frame connected to at least one stabilizer. In certain configurations, the apparatus stabilizes the vehicle without using the vehicle's onboard landing gear. The apparatus may also include at least one pad connected to the apparatus.

A munitions interface adapter including a rail adapter body. A plurality of mounting shoes may be coupled to the rail adapter body, and configured to mechanically couple the rail adapter body to a munitions rail of an installed munitions interface. A fire control connector may be configured to communicatively couple with an installed munitions fire control system. An adapter control interface may be included for adapting fire control signals from the installed munitions fire control system to an adapted munitions fire control signals. One or more adapted munitions deployment fixtures may be positioned on the rail adapter body. The one or more adapted munitions deployment fixtures are configured to retain and deploy one or more adapted munitions.
