Once the gunner has depressed the trigger and the missile has left the launch tube, they are free either to get another weapon round, to assemble another missile round for a further engagement (which takes less than 10 seconds), take cover or move to another location.

 REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT TO RAYTHEON MISSILE SYSTEMS PLANT EMPLOYEES
For years, we've heard that anti-missile defenses won't work; that shooting down a ballistic missile is impossible -- like trying to "hit a bullet with a bullet." some people called it impossible -- you called it your job.
The critics said that this system was plagued with problems -- that results from the test range wouldn't stand up under battlefield conditions.
I've said many times that missile defense threatens no one -- that there is no purer defensive weapon than one that targets and destroys missiles launched against us.

 New Scientist Breaking News - Robotic space penguin to hop across the Moon
Engineers at US defence contractor Raytheon, in Massachusetts, have developed a robot, dubbed the Lunar Penguin, that could one day bounce across perilous craters and imposing mountains on the Moon's craggy surface using a set of compact rocket boosters.
The design borrows technology from Raytheon's missile systems - the rockets come from a ground-based missile defence system and the guidance system is taken from a Tomahawk cruise missile.
Although Raytheon has yet to receive an order to develop the Lunar Penguin further, Seybold says the bot could feasibly be launched as soon as 2009.
