Launch and recovery of an aerial vehicle by a forwardly moving surface vehicle relies on a winch module having a winch to selectively reel out and reel in a towline and a sensor capable of sensing tension in the towline. A lifting body assembly having a pair of lifting bodies and a snagging wire is connected to the towline. The lifting bodies lift and laterally extend the snagging wire between the lifting bodies. An aerial vehicle flying through the air engages the snagging wire by a hook. A first signal representative of tension of the towline causes the winch to reel in the towline and to bring the aerial vehicle to the surface vehicle, and a second sensor associated with the hook generates a second signal representative of tension in the hook and causes the aerial vehicle to cut its motor.

Movement of a watercraft/vehicle is precisely controlled for operations such as docking, remaining on-station, and rotating about the craft's center of mass. The system uses the primary propulsion units used to operate the watercraft under normal conditions without the need for thrusters. Two or more primary propulsion units are controlled to move the watercraft/vehicle forward/aft, laterally, obliquely lateral and may include rotation as desired. One propulsion unit produces reverse thrust and one propulsion unit produces forward thrust while the propulsion angles of the propulsion units are controlled. A variable length draglink simplifies operation of the system. An engine control unit and user interface generate signals to control the thrust magnitude and propulsion angles of the propulsion units. Movement sensors provide data to the control unit for improved control of the watercraft/vehicle.
