Technology Spotlight
Low-cost drone swarm catapult
Naval Postgraduate School
Through the Naval Postgraduate School, an officer has developed a rapid-fire launcher to deploy fixed-wing drone swarms. The technology is available to businesses for commercialization through a patent license agreement. A developing mission area of particular interest to many in the defense and commercial sectors is UAV swarming, which requires multiple UAVs to be launched in a relatively short period of time. The UAV launcher provides for the rapid launch of multiple UAVs safely, effectively, and in quick succession, and provides a compact design enhancing portability and allowing for relatively independent operation.
