Abstract:
A launch canister for ejection from a submerged launch platform, the launch canister being adapted for ejection in a direction substantially along a first axis of the launch canister and comprising: an enclosure for carrying a UAV; a nose cap releasably located in a launch opening at a forward end of the launch canister; a launch mechanism for driving a UAV carried in the enclosure out of the launch canister through the launch opening in a direction substantially along said first axis; and a water surface sensor for detecting when the nose cap of the canister broaches the surface of the water; wherein the launch canister is configured to, on the water surface sensor detecting that the nose cap of the canister has broached the surface of the water, immediately release the nose cap and initiate the launch mechanism to drive a UAV carried in the enclosure out of the launch canister through the launch opening.

Claim (Index 43):
A non-transitory computer program comprising code means adapted to control, when run on processor apparatus, operations in association with launch of an unmanned aerial device from a submerged launch platform, the operations comprising:\n receiving a signal indicating that a nose cap located in a launch opening of a launch canister carrying the unmanned aerial vehicle and ejected in a direction substantially along a first axis of the launch canister has broached a water surface; in response to the signal, immediately causing release of the nose cap and causing initiation of a launch mechanism to drive the unmanned aerial vehicle out of the launch canister through the launch opening; and causing driving of the unmanned aerial vehicle out of the launch canister by the launch mechanism through the launch opening in the direction substantially along said first axis.
