Transporter erector launcher

An example is the 9K330 Tor, which mounts a vertical launching system (VLS)-style block of SAMs that correct their trajectory using rockets on the missile body itself.

The Patriot missile system has a towed launch vehicle or mobile erector launcher (MEL).

The MBDA iLauncher used to launch the Sky Sabre missile is one example; a 15-tonne unit which is carried by MAN HX trucks in British Army service.

It is similar to TELs, except the fact that most space rockets must be erected and launched with the appropriate infrastructure, such as those found in a spaceport.

This system is used by several space-launch agencies; the Soyuz has a TE that can be transported by railway, SpaceX for its launch vehicles Falcon 9 and Heavy (but not Starship).
