    Abstract: The disclosed embodiments include a trailer for an autonomous vehicle controlled by a command and control interface. The trailer includes a trailer body configured to retain the autonomous vehicle in an undeployed configuration. The trailer also anchors the autonomous vehicle in a deployed configuration. A tether is provided having a first end coupled to the trailer body and a second end that is configured to couple to the autonomous vehicle. A winch is utilized to adjust a length of the tether to move the autonomous vehicle between the undeployed configuration and deployed configuration. Further, a communication system communicates with the command and control interface and the autonomous vehicle to control movement of the autonomous vehicle between the undeployed configuration and deployed configuration.

    Abstract: An airborne laser weapon system is divided into a ground-based unit and an airborne unit. The relatively heavy components of the laser weapon system, such as the generator, cooling elements with cooling fluid, accumulators, pump diodes, beam couplers and the control station for an operator, are concentrated and/or arranged in the ground-based part. The relatively lightweight components and/or those that ultimately determine the quality of the laser beam, such as active laser element(s), in particular the output stage(s) thereof, the focusing drive, the telescope and the necessary sensors, may be provided on the airborne platform and may be connected by means of a relatively long, e.g. multiple kilometers, optical waveguide to the ground-based part.
