 MK 41 MOD 15 VLS Modules
MK 41 VLS Standard Module/System
Module Differences
Standard Module (10 Modules per DDG 51 Class Ship):
The Standard Module consists of an upright structure that provides vertical storage
space for eight missile canisters. A deck and hatch assembly at the top of the module
protects the missile canisters during storage and the hatches open to permit missile
launches. The plenum and uptake structure capture and vent missile exhaust gases
vertically up through the module to the atmosphere through the uptake hatch.
Electronic equipment mounted on the 8-Cell Standard Module monitors the stored
missile canisters and the module components and assists in launching the missiles.
System Module (2 Modules per DDG 51 Class Ship):
The System Module similar to the Mechanical and Electronics on the Standard Module
with the addition of the 60 Hz and 400 Hz Power Distribution Panels; the Damage
Control Junction Box; the System Lighting, Power Receptacle, and Telephone Junction
Box; and the System Transformer Platform (see next slide) that serve the entire
launcher. The 8-Cell System Module receives and distributes power and control
signals from outside the launcher to all the modules and collects control and damage
control signals from the modules and sends them outside the launcher.
