Military reconnaissance drone launcher tube, has front cover ejected by spring-powered guide rails

摘要

A military reconnaissance drone is stored and transported in a tube of approximate square cross section which also serves as a launch tube. The front end of the tube has a cover with seal which is forcibly opened to the front prior to launch. The cover (2) is esp. ejected by two spring-powered telescopic tubes (2.2, 2.3) which also serve as drone guide rails during the launch. The tubes are arranged diagonally opposite each other on opposite sides of the tube and are released by a trigger mechanism.
