SYLVER Naval Vertical Launch System

Up to six distributed Launcher Modules (LM) can be linked to the Command and Control. A vertical launcher provides an omnidirectional capability with the shortest reaction time. Each launcher contains eight missiles, whose canisters are used as transport and launch containers.

Vertical launch allows the missile to be steered, as soon as it leaves its transport/launch canister, towards the target thanks to booster stage's two steering nozzles. This feature substantially reduces interception time and allows very short-range or long-range interceptions.
