Disclosed are aerial launch and recovery of unmanned aircraft, associated systems and methods. A representative method for operating an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system includes directing a first multirotor carrier vehicle to airborne a second carrier vehicle, and release the second aircraft for flight, while using an on-board battery to power the first aircraft. The method can also include directing the first aircraft to position a capture line in the flight path of the second aircraft for capturing the second aircraft.

    本发明涉及无人驾驶飞行器的空中发射和/或回收以及相关的系统和方法。一种用于操作无人驾驶航空器(UAV)系统的代表性方法包括:引导第一多旋翼运载飞行器在空中运载第二被运载的飞行器,并且释放该第二飞行器用于飞行,同时利用机载电池为该第一飞行器供电。该方法还能够包括:引导该第一飞行器以将捕捉索定位在该第二飞行器的飞行路径中,用以捕捉该第二飞行器。
