The launcher had an capacity of 8 missiles and was developed from the Mk 112 launcher. The launcher was required to be the size of the non-folding fins of the early Sea Sparrow missile, so the launcher was far larger then was required for it's installation on small ships, which the BPDMS was meant for. It was thus replaced by the Mk 29 GMLS in the IBPDMS program for all later installations.
