Abstract:

A need has been established for a work platform to be temporarily installed around the missile after the missile has been emplaced in the launch tube. A supplementary requirement for the work platform is that the portable staging be usable with the work platform emplaced. The function of this trade study is to determine the feasibility of an opening in the work platform in order that the work cage may be used simultaneously with the work platform. Author
