METHOD FOR LAUNCHING UNMANNED AERIAL VEHICLES (UAVS) FROM A CLOSED POSITION Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC F41F3/04 

FIELD: missiles launchers.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of launchers for missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in the form of cruise missiles and can be used in military equipment. Optical means of target detection in the event of the appearance of the target transmit a signal to the target designation system located inside the closed position. The target designation system sets the azimuth angle and the elevation angle of the loaded rotary launcher placed under the upper ceiling rotary cover inside the closed position. The rotary launcher together with the rotary cover is rotated around the vertical axis of rotation by a given azimuthal angle and elevation angle simultaneously with the opening of the hatch cover in the rotary cover. The hatch is located on the UAV flight path at the UAV departure point. UAVs are launched from a rotary launcher through an open hatch on command from a target designation system. The drive is installed in the form of a rack for launch containers containing UAVs. The UAV containers are loaded from the rack onto the rotary launcher and the UAV is launched.

EFFECT: efficiency of launching UAVs, protection of launching UAVs from climatic and external influences, increasing the secrecy of launching UAVs and increasing the ammunition load are increasing.
