Patent

CA 2513507

Methods and apparatuses for assembling, launching, recovering, disassembling, capturing, and storing unmanned aircraft and other flight devices or projectiles are described. In one embodiment, the aircraft can be assembled from a container with little or no manual engagement by an operator. The container can include a guide structure to control motion of the aircraft components. The aircraft can be launched from an apparatus that includes an extendable boom. The boom can be extended to deploy a recovery line to capture the aircraft in flight. The aircraft can then be returned to its launch platform, disassembled, and stored in the container, again with little or no direct manual contact between the operator and the aircraft.

Cette invention concerne des procédés et des dispositifs de montage, de lancement, de récupération, de démontage, de capture et de stockage d'aéronefs non habités et autres dispositifs volants ou projectiles. Dansa un mode de réalisation, l'aéronef peut être monté à partir d'un conteneur sans ou pratiquement sans intervention manuelle de la part d'un opérateur. Le conteneur peut renfermer une structure de guidage assurant le déplacement des composants de l'appareil. L'aéronef peut être lancé depuis un dispositif comprenant une flèche télescopique. Cette flèche peut être sortie et déployer un câble de récupération pour la capture de l'aéronef en vol. Cet aéronef peut alors être ramené sur sa plate-forme de lancement, démonté et stocké dans le conteneur, la encore sans ou presque sans intervention manuelle de la part de l'opérateur.
