A device for launching unmanned missiles from an aircraft with a pallet, on which at least one container is provided to receive a missile. The container has an upper container section that has a pylon for the suspended, detachable support of the missile. The container has a lower container section that is embodied as a support area for the missile.

Device for launching unmanned missiles from an aircraft

Unmanned missile and method for releasing the unmanned missile from a carrier aircraft, in which the missile has an autonomous flight control device that acts on control devices of the missile. The method includes adjusting vertical rudders and elevators of the missile into a neutral position in which a respective rudder angle is 0&#xb0;, separating electrical and mechanical connections between the missile and the carrier aircraft, and detecting, via sensors of the missile, that the separating has occurred. The method also includes activating the autonomous flight control device and automatically controlling the missile with the flight control device and the control devices based upon correction flight condition variables caused by a prevailing downwash between the missile and the carrier aircraft, and automatically controlling the missile with the flight control device and the control devices based on data stored in at least one storage device on the missile.

Method for releasing an unmanned missile from a carrier aircraft

An unmanned missile which may be uncoupled from a preferably propelled aircraft has a navigation and control device which has a receiver for position determination signals. The receiver is electrically connected to a first antenna, and receives signals collected by the first antenna and transmits same as position determination signals to the navigation and control device. The missile has an electrical signal input by which the missile is connected to the aircraft until it is uncoupled from the aircraft, and by which the missile is supplied with signals for position determination. The missile is provided with at least one additional antenna which is also electrically connected to the receiver.
