A ballistic sabot for adapting a payload to a launch device is disclosed. The ballistic sabot can include a support structure configured to be releasably coupled to a payload and to operably interface with a launch device. The launch device can be operable to launch the payload and the support structure on a ballistic trajectory. The support structure can be configured to retain and travel with the payload along the ballistic trajectory substantially beyond the launch device prior to release and separation from the payload.

1. A ballistic sabot for adapting a payload to a launch device, comprising: a support structure releasably coupleable to a payload and configured to operably interface with a launch device, the launch device being operable to launch the payload and the ballistic sabot on a ballistic trajectory;a launch force attenuation device about the support structure configured to absorb launch forces to protect the payload from damage; anda release mechanism that is selectively actuatable to facilitate release and separation of the support structure and the payload from one another,wherein the support structure retains and travels with the payload along the ballistic trajectory substantially beyond the launch device prior to selective actuation of the release mechanism to release and separate the support structure from the payload. 2. The ballistic sabot of claim 1, wherein the release mechanism is selectively actuatable, such that the support structure retains and travels with the payload to an apogee of the ballistic trajectory prior to release and separation from the payload. 3. The ballistic sabot of claim 1, wherein the release mechanism is selectively actuatable, such that the support structure retains and travels with the payload beyond an apogee of the ballistic trajectory prior to release and separation from the payload. 4. The ballistic sabot of claim 1, further comprising an electronic module configured to communicate with the payload. 5. The ballistic sabot of claim 4, wherein the electronic module is configured to communicate with a command station separate from the ballistic sabot and payload. 6. The ballistic sabot of claim 5, wherein the electronic module is configured to relay communication between the command station and the payload. 7. The ballistic sabot of claim 1, wherein the launch force attenuation device comprises a hydraulic mechanism, a pneumatic mechanism, a magnetic mechanism, a gas bypass system, a spring, a crush plate, a screw, or combinations thereof. 8. The ballistic sabot of claim 1, wherein the support structure comprises an obturator configured to interface with a bore of the launch device. 9. The ballistic sabot of claim 1, wherein the support structure comprises an outer housing. 10. The ballistic sabot of claim 1, wherein the support structure comprises a nose cone. 11. The ballistic sabot of claim 1, wherein the support structure encompasses the payload. 12. The ballistic sabot of claim 1, wherein the support structure is etched to facilitate disintegration into smaller pieces upon separation from the payload. 13. The ballistic sabot of claim 1, wherein the payload comprises a plurality of payloads and the support structure is configured to be releasably coupled to the plurality of payloads. 14. The ballistic sabot of claim 1, further comprising an actuatable control surface supported by the support structure to facilitate control of the ballistic sabot and payload following launch. 15. The ballistic sabot of claim 1, wherein the structural support comprises a void Tillable by a fill material, wherein the fill material is dispersible upon separation of the support structure from the payload to reduce a potential for damage from the structural support upon impact. 16. The ballistic sabot of claim 15, wherein the fill material comprises sand, aluminum shavings, steel shavings, talc, chalk, charcoal, cork, or combinations thereof.
