A gas generating eject motor includes a case containing an ignitable low temperature gas generant material that does not produce toxic gases upon the combustion thereof. The gas generant material is generally contained with a screen enclosure housed within the case. An igniter is disposed within the gas generant material for selectively igniting the gas generant to thereby generate combustion gases. A nozzle is disposed within an open aft end of the case for focusing and directing the combustion gases generated by the ignited gas generant material. The case is constructed and arranged to be separably attached to the aft end of a rocket to be launched from a launch platform, so that, upon ignition of the gas generant, the combustion gases focused by the nozzle will apply a thrust to the rocket and thereby propel, or eject, the rocket from the launch platform, at which time the combustible propellant of the rocket motor will ignite and the eject motor will be separated from the rocket.

1. An eject motor to be coupled to a missile that is launched from a launch platform structure and is propelled by ignited combustible rocket motor propellant for initiating a launch sequence of the missile by propelling the missile from the launch platform structure prior to ignition of the combustible rocket motor propellant, said eject motor comprising:a case including structure for coupling said case to the missile; an ignitable gas generant material stored in said case; a screen enclosure disposed within said case for retaining said ignitable gas generant material within said case; an igniter mechanism constructed and arranged to ignite said ignitable gas generant material, said ignitable gas generant material generating combustion gases when ignited; and a nozzle secured to said case and constructed and arranged to focus and direct combustion gases generated by said ignitable gas generant to create a thrust acting on the missile to which said eject motor is coupled to propel the missile from the launch platform structure.
