Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide improvements to UAV launching systems. The disclosed launching system eliminates the use of hydraulic fluid and compressed nitrogen or air by providing an electric motor-driven tape that causes movement of a shuttle along a launcher rail. The shuttle is detachable from the motor-driven tape, such that stoppage of the tape can be separate from stoppage of the shuttle. Embodiments further provide a secondary arrestment strap. Further embodiments provide an anti-rollback latch system.

Abstract translation: 本发明的实施例提供了对UAV发射系统的改进。 所公开的发射系统通过提供使电动机驱动的带子沿着发射轨运动，从而消除了液压流体和压缩的氮气或空气的使用。 梭子可从马达驱动的带子上拆下，使得带子的停止可以与梭子的停止分开。 实施例进一步提供了次级止动带。 另外的实施例提供了一种防回滚锁存系统。
