A multifunctional case that is suitable for storing, carrying or launching a marker beacon. The launching could be in a dense jungle to place the marker beacon atop tree branches to make it visible from the air, or the case may be adapted for a launching at sea. The case has a triggering mechanism for launching the marker beacon. It has alignment means that comprises a first alignment position for inhibiting a launch when storing or carrying the marker beacon within the case. The alignment means has a second position for placing the marker beacon in position to be launched. The launching takes place upon activation of a triggering mechanism that forms part of the case.

A multifunctional case for receiving an axisymmetrical self-propelled projectile-marker beacon unit, said case comprising: storage and carrying means of generally concentric form about the axis of said axisymmetrical self-propelled projectile-marker beacon unit for storing and carrying same, and which completely encloses same until a removable top is displaced; said storage and carrying case means including a first alignment means for maintaining the projectile-marker beacon unit in a predetermined angular position relative thereto, said predetermined angular position being such that launching of the projectile-marker beacon unit is inhibited; launching means for launching said projectile-marker beacon unit from a launching base at a first elevation to a second elevation a predetermined distance above said first elevation, said launching means includes second alignment means for permitting the launching of said marker beacon and a triggering mechanism for executing the launching of said marker beacon; and keying means for preventing rotation of said projectile-marker beacon unit with respect to said storage and carrying case means when said marker beacon is completely enclosed therewithin.
