Abstract: A man-portable unmanned aerial system launcher (UAS) launcher includes a rail assembly having an internal track and a carriage assembly having a base configured to translate within the internal track. The carriage assembly also includes a cradle configured to support a UAS and a bracket configured to support the cradle above the base. The UAS launcher includes a launch control system configured to secure the carriage assembly in the launch-ready position until the launch control system receives a launch signal. The UAS launcher also includes one or more elastic members configured to engage the carriage assembly and the rail assembly. Once the carriage assembly is translated to the launch-ready position, strain is applied to the carriage assembly by the one or more elastic members. Release of the carriage assembly enables force generated by strain of the elastic members to propel the carriage assembly toward a launch position.

Abstract translation: 便携式无人航空系统发射器（UAS）发射器包括具有内部轨道的轨道组件和具有被配置为在内部轨道内平移的基座的滑架组件。 托架组件还包括构造成支撑UAS的托架和构造成将托架支撑在基座上方的托架。 UAS启动器包括启动控制系统，该启动控制系统被配置为将滑架组件固定在启动就绪位置，直到启动控制系统接收启动信号。 UAS发射器还包括一个或多个弹性构件，所述弹性构件构造成接合滑架组件和导轨组件。 一旦滑架组件转换到准备就绪位置，通过一个或多个弹性构件将应变施加到滑架组件。 滑架组件的释放使得由弹性构件的应变产生的力将滑架组件推向发射位置。
