The system is made up of two drums loaded with six hypersonic missiles each. The launchers release one missile at a time out of the back of the plane’s cargo hold and, as the name implies, the drums revolve to launch the remaining weapons.

The revolver launcher is designed to go inside a C-17 Globemaster III, also built by Boeing.
