This paper delves into the technology of airborne deployment of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), analyzing their strategic value and development potential in modern naval warfare. It first introduces the three main methods of airborne UUV deployment: airdrop, ballistic, and tethered deployment and explains their characteristics and suitable scenarios. Airdrop deployment is suitable for small and micro UUVs, offering low cost and rapid deployment; ballistic deployment, like missile launching, is used for the rapid deployment of smart torpedoes; and tethered deployment combines both deployment and recovery functions, commonly used in mine-hunting and sweeping missions. And then discussed the challenges faced by airborne UUV deployment technology, particularly the issues of water entry impact and attitude adjustment during the airdrop process and introduces relevant simulation technologies and solutions. Finally, the article explores the future applications of UUV technology in both military and civilian fields.
