GJB 5860-2006


GJB 5860-2006 is a Chinese military technical standard describing a vertical launching system for all types of missiles aboard surface combatants.
Cells have a square crosssection with sides, and may be,, or deep. Each cell carries one missile; the shortest cell may carry four missiles. Hot and cold launches are supported; hot launching uses the concentric canister launch approach with exhaust vents within each launch cell.
The first operational implementation is believed to be the VLS aboard the People's Liberation Army Navy's Type 052D destroyer.
