LAUNCHER FOR MISSILE-AND-CANNON ARMAMENT Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC F41F3/04 

FIELD: weapons and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to missile-and-cannon launchers. Launcher includes a base, a movable pack of guiding tubes with the possibility of orientating in the elevation angle and azimuth and two drives. Launching tubes are arranged fanwise along the hyperboloid generatrices and are articulated with two spaced apart discs, each of which is kinematically connected to the drives. Hinged supports of the guiding tubes are movably connected to slides having the possibility of synchronous movement by means of rack-and-pinion mechanisms along radial slots made in one of the spaced apart discs. Structure of the launcher is designed able to be disassembled into two mechanisms – a rotary-support one and a replaceable pack of guiding tubes.

EFFECT: increasing the launcher efficiency while tracking highly maneuverable high-speed targets, providing the possibility of mounting, dismantling and transporting the launcher by the crews, increasing the structure reliability.
