Abstract: The invention relates to a device for recovering unmanned airborne vehicles comprising support means connected to the ground and retention means connected to the support means, it being possible for the device to occupy a non-operational position and an operational position in which the retention means are interposed in the path of the unmanned airborne vehicle. The support means consist of at least one inflatable element (1) comprising a part which, in the inflated position, has two vertical branches, and the retention means (5) are joined to the mentioned part of the at least one inflatable element (1) by sliding means (2), (4), (6), (7), such that the retention means (5), by the thrust of the unmanned airborne vehicle, move and at least partially surround the mentioned airborne vehicle, which is confined in the mentioned retention means.
