Vehicle-mounted receiving and deployment device for an unmanned aerial vehicle

Abstract

Vehicle-mounted receiving and provisioning device (1) for an unmanned aircraft (2), comprising a vehicle-side holding device (5), an aircraft-side adapter device (17), an elongated handling body (15) and a quick-release coupling (11), wherein the vehicle-side holding device (5) has at least one vacuum-operated adhesive element (6) for detachable attachment to an outer surface (4) of a vehicle (3) and a first coupling half (9), the handling body (15) is connected at a first end to the adapter device (17) via a detachable positive-locking rail connection (19, 20) and carries a second coupling half (10) at an opposite second end, the two coupling halves (9, 10) automatically lock positively when axially joined and can be separated by means of a manually operated release device (12),and a locking element (13) separate from the unlocking device (12) blocks the quick-release coupling (11) in its locking position, wherein the second coupling half (10), the handling body (15) and the adapter device (17) form an aircraft-side unit (35) that can be lifted off the vehicle-side holding device (5) when the quick-release coupling (11) is disconnected.
