Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) launch tube that comprises at least one inner layer of prepreg substrate disposed about a right parallelepiped aperture, at least one outer layer of prepreg substrate disposed about the right parallelepiped aperture, and one or more structural panels disposed between the at least one inner layer of prepreg substrate and the at least one outer layer of prepreg substrate. An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) launch tube that comprises a tethered sabot configured to engage a UAV within a launcher volume defined by an inner wall, the tethered sabot dimensioned to provide a pressure seal at the inner wall and tethered to the inner wall, and wherein the tethered sabot is hollow having an open end oriented toward a high pressure volume and a tether attached within a hollow of the sabot and attached to the inner wall retaining the high pressure volume or attach to the inner base wall. A system comprising a communication node and a launcher comprising an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a pre-launch state configured to receive and respond to command inputs from the communication node.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method comprising: receiving, by a receiver disposed within a launcher volume of a launcher, wireless communication via one or more RF signals received wirelessly through a launcher wall of the launcher, wherein the launcher volume is defined by the launcher wall and wherein the launcher wall comprises a radio-frequency (RF) permeable material; and commanding, by the launcher, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) disposed within the launcher volume to enter…
