Rocket-Assisted Take-Off System Technology Demonstrator for Unmanned Aircraft

BACKGROUND Some unmanned aircraft applications for high-speed flight, such as aerial target drones, require a means to launch without a runway. Current methods to address this need include catapults, pneumatic launch rails and rocket-assisted take-off (RATO) systems. The use of a RATO system is often expensive but can be accomplished with a zero-length...
