An inertial restraint mechanism restrains a rail mounted missile (10) against forward movement along a missile launch rail (12) in response to a deceleration force. The restraint mechanism comprises a mass (36) the move- ment of which is opposed by a spring force (44). When the mass overcomes the spring force due to a deceleration force in excess of a threshold magnitude, a locking mechanism (53) is activated to a missile restraining po- sition, thereby restraining the missile against forward movement. The restraint mechanism is locked (62, 65) in the missile restraining position to prevent release of a missile in re- sponse to multiple deceleration forces experi- enced by the missile and launch rail. Addi- tionally, a detent (75) may be provided which prevents actuation of the restraint mechanism to the missile restraining position unless the missile is stored in a storage compartment.
