GLS-1 is a powerful pneumatic launch system for UAVs weighing up to 40 kg. It is capable of launching aircraft at speeds up to 20 m/s, day or night, in any weather conditions. The catapult operates autonomously using a 2 kW gasoline or diesel generator (220 V, 50 Hz) and requires no external power supply.The system supports both automatic and manual air pressurization into the pneumatic cylinders. Two pressure gauges—on the compressor station and on the control panel—allow the operator to precisely monitor pressure levels. A built-in safety valve activates automatically at pressures exceeding 12 bar, while an emergency pressure release adds an extra layer of safety. Launch is performed remotely from the control panel. A locking pin holds the carriage in place until launch.GLS-1 is an ideal solution for heavy UAV platforms where autonomy and consistent launch readiness are critical.
