leading developer of military simulations in Baltic countries
The UAV pneumatic launcher PL-40 has been developed to accelerate UAV-s and other aircraft with MTOW up to 30 kg and launch them at speeds up to 25m/s. The launcher is light-weight, battery-operated and is quickly assembled. The system is easily portable in two special rugged cases. Custom carriage rods can be designed based on clients UAV specifications.
