Abstract
A system and method for suppressing heat around a missile housed in a canister during a restrained firing condition is provided. A missile canister has a hollow wall and an inner side provided with a plurality of dispensing holes. A coolant reservoir communicates with the canister wall via a coolant intake port. When a restrained firing condition occurs, gas is generated below the missile while the missile is physically restrained within the canister. The gas pressure impinges on a flexible face of the coolant reservoir causing its volume to decrease and coolant to be urged into the canister wall and out of the dispensing holes.
