FIELD: aviation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Device for separating the UAV group from the carrier aircraft comprises a multi-position launch device located in the cargo compartment of the carrier aircraft made in the fuselage from the lower part thereof and provided with a rotary fairing. Multi-position launching device is provided with attachment devices for each UAV, designed to be released, and configured to extend the UAV from the cargo bay. Multi-position starting device is rotatably pivotable about an axis, perpendicular to the longitudinal plane of symmetry of the carrier aircraft installed in the fuselage of the carrier aircraft in the region of the front lower part of the multi-position launch device. Multi-position starting device is provided with guides for moving and mounting the UAV from the rear side thereof. Swivel fairing of the cargo compartment is attached to the bottom of the multi-position launch device. Cargo compartment is equipped with a multiple action lock for the retracted position of the multi-position launch device.

EFFECT: technical result of the invention is the compact placement of the UAV, the reduction in the mass of the separation unit, the time of separation of the UAV group and the improvement of the separation safety.
