Abstract

A remote launcher includes a base frame, a cradle, a cradle actuator, and a launch control system. The cradle is pivotably coupled to the base frame and includes one or more skids that are configured to receive and support an unmanned water-based deployable. The cradle actuator is coupled to the base frame and to the cradle. The launch control system includes a communication interface, a processor, and memory having instructions. The instructions direct the launch control system to receive, via the communication interface, one or more wireless launch signals and then, in response thereto, generate at least one cradle control signal to enable the cradle actuator to incline the cradle to a launch angle.
