    Abstract: The disclosure provides a rapid UAV launcher comprising an upper shuttle assembly and typically a plurality of rail systems. Each rail system comprises a lower shuttle assembly extending into a rail channel and translating over a rail surface. The rail channels of each rail system e generally parallel. The lower shuttle assembly of each rail system is coupled to a winch strap at a first end and an intermediary rope toward the intended direction of launch. The intermediary rope extends through the rail channel, through a brake disposed in the rail channel, around a pulley, and couples to a forward bungee connector coupled to an elastic unit. During a launch sequence, a rear mounted winch reels the winch strap to pull the lower shuttle assembly toward the winch, elongating the elastic unit, and providing individual tension forces to the lower shuttle assembly of each rail system.

    Abstract: A method of launching and retrieving a UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) (10). The preferred method of launch involves carrying the UAV (10) up to altitude using a parasail (8) similar to that used to carry tourists aloft. The UAV is dropped and picks up enough airspeed in the dive to perform a pull-up into level controlled flight. The preferred method of recovery is for the UAV to fly into and latch onto the parasail tow line (4) or cables hanging off the tow line and then be winched back down to the boat (2).

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide an apparatus configured to automatically retrieve, service, and launch an aircraft. For retrieval, the aircraft drops a weighted cable, and pulls it at low relative speed into a broad aperture of the apparatus. In certain instances, the cable is dragged along guiding surfaces of the apparatus into and through a slot until its free end is captured. The aircraft becomes anchored to the apparatus, and is pulled downward by the cable into a receptacle. Guiding surfaces of the receptacle adjust the position and orientation of a probe on the aircraft, directing the probe to mate with a docking fixture of the apparatus. Once mated, the aircraft is automatically shut down and serviced. When desired, the aircraft is automatically started and tested in preparation for launch, and then released into free flight. A full ground-handling cycle is thus accomplished with a simple, economical apparatus.
