Abstract
A shock absorbing pad system for a missile in a launch tube comprising a plurality of pads having inner and outer arcuate sheets separated by chevron shaped struts disposed in a circular array and having the inner arcuate sheets joined together by a circumferential tensile resistive fabric which is embedded in the inner arcuate sheets and extends therebetween so as to form a loop in the fabric when the pads are disposed in the launch tube and are in their free state, the loop straightening when the missile is loaded into the tube so that the circular array of pads act as a unit to resist shock and apply centering forces to the missile when it becomes eccentrically disposed in the launch tube.
