Abstract: A launcher for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), the launcher having a foldable UAV stowed within said launcher, the launcher includes, a launch tube configured as a UAV launcher and a UAV carrying case. The launcher further includes a pneumatic booster connected to said UAV for accelerating said UAV during launching phase. The launcher further includes a separation mechanism operated to permits separation of the booster from the UAV when the UAV leaves the launcher tube and to transfer the kinetic energy that is created from the pneumatic booster to the UAV in the launching phase. The UAV is propelled off of the launch tube by the booster that transmits thrust in the launch tube to the space below said booster. The UAV which is connected to the booster by the separation mechanism is pushed out of the launcher tube body and leaves the launch tube, the booster is separated from the UAV by the separation mechanism and the UAV is automatically deployed. The UAV propellers are activated to propel the UAV and driven the UAV.

Abstract: A UAV support vehicle carries a UAV support apparatus for launching and/or recovering a UAV while the UAV support vehicle is moving. The UAV support apparatus releases the UAV during launch and receives the UAV during recovery. An active suspension may be connected between the UAV support vehicle and at least a portion of the UAV support apparatus and reduce motion imparted to that portion of the UAV support apparatus. During UAV recovery, data from a synchronization link between the UAV and the UAV support vehicle may be used to maneuver the UAV and/or the UAV support vehicle.

Abstract: The technologies described herein are generally directed to utilizing unmanned controller equipment to launch and recover unmanned imaging equipment in a fifth generation (5G) network or other next generation networks. For example, a method described herein can include receiving an indication that unmanned aerial equipment is to be captured. The method can further include, based on the indication, capturing the unmanned aerial equipment launched over a data collection area, resulting in captured unmanned aerial equipment. Further, the method can include, interfacing with the captured unmanned aerial equipment to download information associated with the data collection area collected by the unmanned aerial equipment during airborne transit over the data collection area.
