Fixed-Wing UAVs
Launch aircraft that need guided acceleration before free flight.
Launch System
Pneumatic Rail Launcher
Controlled rail acceleration for fixed-wing UAV launch programs.
Applications
Repeatable launch performance for fixed-wing UAVs.
Defence Programs
Support controlled launch conditions for mission-focused aircraft.
Field Trials
Improve repeatability across test sorties and operator teams.
Advantages
Guided acceleration with pneumatic control.
- Controlled launch stroke for repeatable aircraft release.
- Rail-guided alignment through the launch phase.
- Configurable geometry and launch energy around aircraft requirements.
Specifications
Pneumatic Rail Launcher configuration.
