Editing Vertical launching system (section)

===Cold launch===
The advantage of the cold-launch system is in its safety: if a missile engine malfunctions during launch, the cold-launch system can eject the missile, reducing or eliminating the threat. For this reason, Russian VLSs are often designed with a slant so that a malfunctioning missile will land in the water instead of on the ship's deck.  As missile size grows, the benefits of ejection launching increase. Above a certain size, a missile booster cannot be safely ignited within the confines of a ship's hull. Most modern [[intercontinental ballistic missile]]s and [[submarine-launched ballistic missile]]s are cold-launched. [[Russia]] produces both grid systems and a [[revolver]] arrangement with more than one missile per lid for its cold launch system. Russia also uses a cold launch system for some of its vertical launch missile systems, e.g., the [[Tor missile system]].

The United Kingdom's [[CAMM (missile family)|Common Anti-Air Modular Missile (CAMM) family]] of missiles utilises a similar cold-launching system, referred to as "soft-vertical-launch", and actively markets the advantages of the system. Soft-launch provides the missile with a reduce interception rate allowing for shorter ranged engagements, reduces the [[infrared homing]] signature of the ship and the obscurant of visibility by rendering the ship in efflux for several minutes; and most notably, the lack of hot efflux and reduced stress on the ship's structure allows for a much greater choice of launch systems, such as the lighter "Mushroom Farm" launcher whilst also still enabling installation into the heavier Mark 41 in a quad-pack or dual-packed configuration (two or four missiles per cell) for a costly, but more space efficient option.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Głębocki |first1=Robert |last2=Jacewicz |first2=Mariusz |date=2018-10-20 |title=Simulation study of a missile cold launch system |url=http://ptmts.org.pl/jtam/index.php/jtam/article/view/4453 |journal=Journal of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics |volume=56 |issue=4 |pages=901–913 |doi=10.15632/jtam-pl.56.4.901 |issn=1429-2955|doi-access=free }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-06-04 |title=From Sea Wolf to Sea Ceptor – the Royal Navy's defensive shield {{!}} Navy Lookout |url=https://www.navylookout.com/from-sea-wolf-to-sea-ceptor-the-royal-navys-defensive-shield/ |access-date=2023-11-10 |website=www.navylookout.com |language=en-GB}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=SEA CEPTOR {{!}} FORCE PROTECTION, Maritime Superiority |url=https://www.mbda-systems.com/product/sea-ceptor/ |access-date=2023-11-10 |website=MBDA |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=CAMM {{!}} FORCE PROTECTION, Ground Based Air Defence |url=https://www.mbda-systems.com/product/camm/ |access-date=2023-11-10 |website=MBDA |language=en-US}}</ref>
