摘要： A stacked tube submunitions dispenser (11) comprises an array (15) of nested launch tube clusters (23) disposed within a dispenser envelope (19). Each cluster (23) includes a plurality of fixed launch tubes (17) uniformly arranged around the central axis of the envelope (19) so that the angle between adjacent launch tubes (17) of a cluster (23) is substantially equal. The launch tubes (17) extend rearwardly and outwardly from the central axis from the envelope (19) in a substantially conical configuration. Each launch tube (17) includes a guide surface (33) for supporting a submunition (35) in a stowed position, a guide surface (37) for guiding the submunition during a dispensing event; and means for dispensing (39, 41) the submunition. Additionally, each launch tube includes a jettisonable aerodynamic cover (21) which provides the envelope (19) with a clean aerodynamic configuration. An additional volume (43) is available rearward of the submunition (35) but inside the envelope (19).
