Constructed of lightweight welded aluminum, the launcher weighs approximately 1,200 pounds and is mounted on the standard 21/2-ton, 6x6, cargo truck M35 (fig. 1). The launcher may be fired from its mounted position, or it may be dismounted and fired from the ground (fig. 2). When dismounted it is also helicopter transportable. The launcher consists of a bot- tom carriage assembly with two removable wheel and spindle assemblies, two stabilizing jack groups forward of the wheels and two detachable trail and ball assemblies (right and left) and a rectangular top carriage assembly (fig. 3), mounting a cluster and conduit assem- bly. The elevating, traversing, and electrical fir- ing mechanisms (fig. 4) are also mounted on the top carriage assembly.
