In a projectile-launcher actuated by induction, the guidance tubes are made of austenitic, stainless steel with high resistivity, transparent to the induction phenomenon. This makes it possible to obtain optimal mechanical strength while at the same time deriving the benefit of the advantages of actuation by induction between an inducation coil wound on each tube and an armature winding wound on the projectile. The disclosed device can be applied to all types of ground or airborne rocket-launchers.

A launching tube (1) for a launching device for a rocket (2), in which launching tube a rocket can be accommodated, is made from a composite material. The inside of the launching tube is lined with a protective layer which provides protection against the high temperatures and the substances or gases which are released when a rocket is launched from the launching tube. The protective layer may comprise phenolic glass, phenolic carbon and the like.

The invention relates to a projectile launcher with induction control. The guide tubes (1) are made of austenitic stainless steel of high resistivity and transparent to the induction phenomenon, thus making it possible to obtain an optimum mechanical resistance, whilst at the same time benefitting from the advantages of an induction control between an inductor (2) wound on each tube (1) and an armature (3) wound on the projectile (100). The invention is used on all types of ground or airborne rocket launchers.

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
