Abstract
Located below an aircraft is a support rod (1) provided with female engagement members (10). Standard missile launcher modules are provided on their flat upper wall with counterpart male engagement members (20). The engagement members (10 and 20) cooperate in the manner of dovetails and for each module location, they are separated from each other according to the same geometric progression along the support rod (1) and the upper wall of the module (2). A device comprising a cam (27) and lever (273) makes it possible to ensure at the same time the translation necessary for locking of the dovetail, as well as the making of contact between the electrical connector members.
