Abstract

See full text

A device for catching and launching a guided UAV, the device comprises a supporting post, a horizontal shaft mounted on the post, and a lever is mounted on the horizontal shaft and can make a full revolution around a horizontal axis within a vertical plane, the lever is equipped with an engagement/disengagement device a means for interaction with the UAV catching device and an optical member, preferably arranged on the lever, for determining a location of the lever interaction means by an optical guidance system of the UAV. The lever comprises two coaxial portions, one is the engagement/disengagement device, and the second is a bar, wherein one end of the bar is coupled to the horizontal shaft, while another end thereof is connected to the engagement/disengagement device. The bar and the engagement/disengagement device are connected by a hinge that enables their fixation in a coaxial state and allows offset the axis of the engagement/disengagement device relative to the axis of the bar within a rotation plane of the lever. The horizontal shaft is equipped with a means for accumulating and/or dissipating the kinetic energy of the UAV, the lever is fixed on the shaft and can provide an elastic offset of the interaction means of the engagement/disengagement device within a plane perpendicular to the rotation plane of the lever, the interaction means configured to provide mutual locking/unlocking with the UAV catching device.
