System for storing and transporting guided missiles and similar flying bodies

System for storing and transporting guided missiles and similar flying bodies including storage structures positionable in a storage location, wherein the improvement comprises that each of said storage structures has a front end and a read end with the front end-rear end direction of said storage structures representing the normal travel direction of said storage structures and a pair of sides extending in the front end-rear end direction, each of said storage structures including means for moving and steering said storage structures so that at least one row of said storage structures can be arranged in a storage location with said storage structures disposed in side-by-side relation, each of said storage structures being positioned alongside one another in said row in closely spaced relation so that the space therebetween is of a width insufficient to form a walkway to allow loading and unloading of said storage structures and individual said storage structures in said row can be moved in the normal travel direction of said storage structures out of said row and turned in the direction of said row of said storage structures without moving adjacent said storage structures in said row, said storage structure includes a safety catch for securing said storage structure in the storage location for preventing said storage structure from experiencing movement caused by an accidental thrust of a guided missile, means on said storage structure for mounting the guided missiles, and means arranged to be mounted on the guided missiles for interengaging said means for mounting the guided missiles on said storage structure, and said means for mounting said guided missiles on said storage structure and said means arranged on the guided missiles for interengagement with said means for mounting said guided missiles on said storage structure each including stops interacting with one another for preventing the guided missiles from moving relative to said support structure, said safety catch is mounted on the rear end of said storage structure, and remote control means are connected to said safety catch, said remote control means comprises an operating member located adjacent the front end of said storage structure for operating said safety catch.
