NATO Supply Class 1440 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 14, which is specifically for Guided Missiles.

NATO Supply Class 1440 pertains to Launchers for Guided Missiles. Launchers are the systems or devices used to launch or deploy guided missiles. They provide the necessary support and mechanisms for launching the missiles accurately and effectively.

Launchers in this supply class are designed to be compatible with guided missiles and are typically used in military applications. They can be used on various platforms such as ships, submarines, aircraft, or ground-based systems.

The purpose of NATO Supply Class 1440 is to categorize and standardize the procurement, storage, and distribution of launchers for guided missiles within NATO member countries. This classification system ensures that member nations can easily identify and acquire the necessary equipment for their guided missile systems.

It is important to note that NATO Supply Class 1440 specifically focuses on launchers and not the guided missiles themselves. The guided missiles would fall under a different supply class within NATO Supply Group 14.

Overall, NATO Supply Class 1440 plays a crucial role in the logistics and supply chain management of launchers for guided missiles, ensuring that NATO member countries have access to the necessary equipment for their defense and security needs.
