Description

The test rig for a missile launcher was designed and manufactured to simulate the operating conditions of the launcher, and test its various components for the loads generated during a launch.

The test rig is capable of simulating various load cases like emergency driving load case, locking and article ejection load case, etc.

Design and analysis of the test rig was done to ensure safe operation during all load cases
