ABSTRACT The Concentric Canister Launcher (CCL) is a new concept for launching munitions from surface ships. Each concentric launcher provides a self‐contained gas management system and a complete set of launcher electronics. These innovations provide the naval architect new versatility in the design of warships, significant cost and weight advantages, and improved performance when compared to existing missile launching systems.
