Abstract: A device launcher can be carried and be used to launch a device by an airborne UAV against an airborne or ground target. The target can be a moving target with the device configured to slow or disable the movement of the target. The device can be triggered manually or through an automated targeting system. The launch apparatus can be configured to launch a single device or a plurality of devices. The device launched against the target can be separated from the launch vehicle or tethered to the launch vehicle. The device can be a net that entangles the rotors of a rotor-driven vehicle. The device can include a parachute to retard movement of target vehicle whether it is falling or if it continues to move. A method of patrolling a perimeter with an airborne vehicle includes the steps of moving the airborne vehicle within the perimeter to sense unauthorized targets and launching a device against those sensed targets.

Abstract: A shoulder launched unmanned reconnaissance system for providing overhead visual surveillance of remote targets is disclosed. The present system includes a reconnaissance air vehicle which may be fired from a portable launcher, accelerated to flight speed, and remotely controlled using a ground control system. The vehicle is flown to the target area to enable an onboard wide angle video system to transmit video images of the target by radio or fiber optics link to the ground control system for processing and display. The ground control system enables the reconnaissance vehicle to be flown to a recovery area and to descend in a stall mode after the flight is completed for maintenance prior to reuse. The air vehicle includes collapsible wings which are deployable after launch by a spring actuated mechanism. The fuselage of the air vehicle carries an onboard video camera, an electric motor, a battery, a global positioning system receiver, flight controls, and a data link system.In an alternative embodiment, the fuselage of the air vehicle includes a storage bay with a rotary mechanism capable of deploying sensors for chemical and biological warfare agents or other dropable payloads such as dye markers for marking fleeing motor vehicles. The present system is capable of conducting overhead surveillance up to a range of approximately 10 kilometers.

Abstract translation: 披露了发射无人侦察系统，用于提供远程目标的架空视觉监控。 本系统包括可从便携式发射器发射的加速飞行速度的遥感飞行器，并使用地面控制系统进行远程控制。 车辆飞行到目标区域，使得车载广角视频系统能够通过无线电或光纤链路将目标的视频图像传送到地面控制系统进行处理和显示。 地面控制系统使得侦察车辆能够在飞行完成之后飞行到恢复区域并以失速模式下降，以便在重新使用之前进行维护。 机动车辆包括可弹起的机翼，它们在由弹簧致动机构发射之后可部署。 机载机身载有车载摄像机，电动马达，电池，全球定位系统接收器，飞行控制和数据链接系统。 在替代实施例中，机动车辆的机身包括具有旋转机构的存储舱，该旋转机构能够部署用于化学和生物战剂或其它可下载的有效载荷的传感器，例如用于标记逃离机动车辆的染色标记。 目前的系统能够进行大约10公里范围的架空监视。
