Abstract
A method of launching a missile in a given direction is described comprising the steps of: i) storing a missile in a housing ii) ejecting the missile from the housing while imparting a tumbling motion to the missile, the direction of tumble being selected to decrease the angle between the longitudinal axis of the missile and the given direction and iii) firing the missile and steering it to the given direction. By such a method a missile launcher is provided which is capable of firing a missile at any azimuth angle of between 0 and 360.degree., within 0.1 second of receiving a signal to launch. The missile may be launched by a single ejector piston at the base of the missile acting in a direction off-set from the longitudinal axis of the missile.
