Abstract

Methods and apparatus for a missile having an external system operate in conjunction with an airframe and a fluid transfer system. The airframe includes an interior surface defining a substantially enclosed internal chamber. The fluid transfer system selectively connects the internal chamber to the external system, for example to provide pressurant or coolant to the external system.
