  • Publication number: 20240409249
    Abstract: A deployment system for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) includes a container, at least one storage rack disposed within the container, and a launcher. The at least one storage rack is configured to store a plurality of UAVs and to selectively dispense the UAVs. The launcher includes at least one engagement member configured to engage any UAV of the plurality of UAVs, and a conveyor operable to accelerate the engaged UAV from an engagement position to a release speed. The deployment system also includes a UAV handler configured to receive each UAV of the plurality of UAVs from the at least one storage rack and transfer the UAV to the launcher.

  • Patent number: 8314374
    Abstract: A lightweight, man-portable weapon delivery system includes a fuselage, and first and second wings mounted to opposing sides of the fuselage. The system includes an electric motor for driving a propeller for providing thrust to propel the system. The electric motor is mounted to the fuselage, and configured to be remotely started by a user. The system includes an imaging device mounted to the system and configured to capture images of a theater of operations of the system. The system includes a communication circuit in communication with the imaging device and configured to transmit the images from the imaging device to the user for viewing the theater of operations of the system for remotely steering the system. The communication circuit is configured to receive commands from the user for steering the system into the target. The system includes a payload configured to store the ordnance.
