A rocket boosted and/or sustained round for launching from a firearm, recoilless rifle, mortar or any other type of closed breech launcher and an adjustable, recoiling tripod support for the firearm or other type of closed breech launcher. The tripod supports the launcher during launch of the rocket boosted and/or sustained round. The rocket boosted round, which may be launced, for example, from the conventional M-16 rifle, is aerogyro stabilized and is provided with a tubular tailpipe that slidingly fits over the end of the firearm barrel. A rocket motor which is ignited during or after launch is coupled to the tailpipe and a warhead having a predetermined ogive configuration is coupled to the rocket motor. An ignition delay means in the round such as a pyrotechnic delay may be provided to allow a predetermined time delay between launch of the round and the ignition of the rocket motor. Other round configurations incorporate a progressive burning rocket motor grain instead of a pyrotechnic delay. The low thrust and negligible back blast from the initial burn of the rocket allows the elimination of the time delay from launch to rocket motor ignition. The round is launched by firing a grenade launcher cartridge in the launcher. The hot, gaseous products of combustion from the cartridge enter the tailpipe of the round and launch the round from the launcher. The ignition delay means if utilized, initiates ignition of the rocket motor after a predetermined time interval has elapsed from launch.

In a weapon system arrangement comprising a rocket boosted warhead round having a center of gravity, a center of pressure and a predetermined non-yawing frequency, and a launcher for launching the round, the improvement comprising, in combination: a launcher comprising a tripod support, a barrell portion and means for firing a blank cartridge to direct the products of combustion from the fired blank cartridge through the barrel portion, and said tripod support comprising: a body member; a base leg having a first end coupled to said body member and a second end spaced a first preselected distance from said first end, and said base leg extending in a first direction from said body member for the condition of said base leg in a firing position; a pair of forward legs and each of said forward legs having a first end pivotally coupled to said body member and a second end spaced a second preselected distance from said first end thereof, and said pair of forward legs in a predetermined spaced relationship to each other and to said base leg; forward leg clamping means engaging each of said pair of forward legs and said body member for detachably clamping each of said forward legs in any of a plurality of firing positions on said body member; launcher support means having a first end coupled to said body member, and a second end spaced therefrom, and said launcher support means extending from said body member in a second direction; launcher clamping means coupled to said second end of said launcher support means for detachably coupling said launcher thereto; recoil energy dissipation means coupled to said launcher support means for dissipating at least a portion of recoil energy applied thereto; position indicating means on said body member for providing a visual indication of each of said plurality of firing positions of said forward legs; level means pivotally mounted on said body member and alignable thereon in a level condition for depicting a level condition of the tripod support for the condition of said forward legs clamped in any of said plUrality of firing positions, and said level indicating means coupled to said body member for providing a visual indication of the level condition of said level means corresponding to said position indicating means for each of said plurality of firing positions of said pair of forward legs, and having two axis level indication means comprising a pair of bubble sight levels orthogonally aligned; round for launching from said launcher and comprising: a tubular tailpipe means having an aft end, a forward end, and internal walls defining a tubular passageway, and said tubular passageway at said aft end adapted to slidingly fit onto the end of the launcher barrel; a rocket motor having an aft end coupled to said forward end of said tailpipe, and a forward end, and comprising a solid propellant rocket grain; a warhead coupled to said forward end of said rocket motor, and said warhead having a predetermined ogive external configuration; a delay means in said rocket motor for providing a predetermined delay to full thrust of said rocket motor, aero-gyro stabilization means coupled to said aft end of said tubular tailpipe for spinning said round to provide aero-gyro stability, said aero-gyro stability comprising wherein said center of pressure is aft of said center of gravity and the round is spinning at a rate at least of one order of megnitude greater than said predetermined non-spinning yawing frequency.
