Convertible multipurpose missile launcher

A convertible multipurpose missile launcher, comprising:

• a launcher body having a top side, a bottom side, a first lateral side, a second lateral side, a forward end, and an aft end;
• a support attachment on the top side of the launcher body;
• and
• a launch rail structure on the launcher body, the launch rail structure including
• a first-missile launch rail on the bottom side of the launcher body and extending in a longitudinal direction, the longitudinal direction being defined as a direction extending between the forward end and the aft end of the launcher body, wherein the first-missile launch rail is dimensioned for a Maverick missile, and
• a second-missile launch rail on the bottom side of the launcher body and extending in the longitudinal direction, wherein the second-missile launch rail is dimensioned for a HARM missile, and wherein the second-missile launch rail includes
• a stationary second-missile forward launch rail segment, and
• a movable second-missile aft launch rail segment, the movable second-missile aft launch rail segment being slidable on the first-missile launch rail between a forward position and an aft position, and wherein the movable second-missile aft launch rail segment may be locked in the forward position when slid to the forward position and locked in the aft position when slid to the aft position.

A convertible multipurpose missile launcher interconvertible between carrying a first missile and a second missile, the missile launcher comprising:

• a launcher body having a top side, a bottom side, a first lateral side, a second lateral side, a forward end, and an aft end;
• a support attachment on the top side of the launcher body;
• and
• a launch rail structure on the launcher body, the launch rail structure including
• a first-missile launch rail on the bottom side of the launcher body and extending in a longitudinal direction, the longitudinal direction being defined as a direction extending between the forward end and the aft end of the launcher body, wherein the first-missile launch rail is dimensioned for a first missile, and
• a second-missile launch rail on the bottom side of the launcher body and extending in the longitudinal direction, wherein the second-missile launch rail is dimensioned for a second missile different from the first missile, and wherein the second-missile launch rail includes
• a second-missile first launch rail segment, and
• a second-missile second launch rail segment, the second-missile second launch rail segment being movable between a first position and a second position, wherein the first missile may be carried on the first-missile launch rail when the second-missile launch rail segment is in the first position, and the second missile may be carried on the second-missile launch rail when the second-missile second launch rail segment is in the second position.
