Abstract: A Micro Air-Vehicle (MAV) starting system that provides the combined functions of: packing protection of sensitive vehicle components, a mechanical starting assembly, and a launch pad. The preferred embodiment comprises a container (110) and a container lid (101) with the MAV (200) clamped to the lid. Also disposed on the container lid is a starting assembly (111). The lid (101) which doubles as a launching pad with the attached MAV (200) is removed from the container (110), placed on the ground, the MAV (200) is started with the starling mechanism and launched. The arrangement minimizes the physical risk to the operator, minimizes weight of the total MAV system, consumes minimum space in the operators transport system, and eliminates dependence on supply lines for battery replacement or charging.
