ZUMWALT CLASS DESTROYER MK57 VERTICAL LAUNCHING SYSTEM (VLS)

The advanced MK57 Vertical Launching System can accommodate both existing and future missiles for land attack, anti-ship, anti-submarine and anti-air warfare. Its modular electronic architecture allows the Zumwalt Destroyer faster, more economical migration to new missile systems by minimizing the need to requalify the launcher for every new missile, or to modify launcher control software and hardware.
