An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) launch tube (100) that comprises at least one inner layer of prepreg substrate (370) disposed about a right parallelepiped aperture (305), at least one outer layer of prepreg substrate (380) disposed about the right parallelepiped aperture, and one or more structural
An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) launch tube (100) that comprises at least one inner layer of prepreg substrate (370) disposed about a right parallelepiped aperture (305), at least one outer layer of prepreg substrate (380) disposed about the right parallelepiped aperture, and one or more structural panels (341-344) disposed between the at least one inner layer of prepreg substrate (340) and the at least one outer layer of prepreg substrate (380). An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) launch tube (100) that comprises a tethered sabot (700,740) configured to engage a UAV within a launcher volume defined by an inner wall, the tethered sabot (700,740) dimensioned to provide a pressure seal at the inner wall and tethered to the inner wall, and wherein the tethered sabot (700,740) is hollow having an open end oriented toward a high pressure volume and a tether (740) attached within a hollow (910) of the sabot (700) and attached to the inner wall retaining the high pressure volume or attach to the inner base wall (1013). A system comprising a communication node (1500-1505) and a launcher (1520) comprising an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) in a pre-launch state configured to receive and respond to command inputs from the communication node (1500-1505).

1. A system comprising: a launcher having a launcher volume defined by a launcher wall, the launcher wall comprising a continuous radio-frequency (RF) permeable material;a receiver disposed within the launcher volume, the receiver receiving wireless communication via one or more RF signals received
1. A system comprising: a launcher having a launcher volume defined by a launcher wall, the launcher wall comprising a continuous radio-frequency (RF) permeable material;a receiver disposed within the launcher volume, the receiver receiving wireless communication via one or more RF signals received wirelessly through the launcher wall of the launcher, in a pre-launch state. 2. The system of claim 1, the receiver further comprising an RF antenna disposed within the launcher volume. 3. The system of claim 1, further comprising: an external communications node;wherein the receiver is in communication with the external communications node, in a pre-launch state, to receive wirelessly through the launcher wall of the launcher one or more RF signals from the external communications node. 4. The system of claim 3 wherein the one or more RF signals are selected from the group consisting of: a reconnaissance waypoint information, a surveillance optimizing trajectory information, a target data, and a flight plan information. 5. The system of claim 1, the launcher wall comprising at least one of: a prepreg substrate, a para-aramid synthetic fiber, a poly-paraphenylene terephthalamide, and balsawood. 6. The system of claim 1, further comprising: an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) disposed within the launcher volume. 7. The system of claim 6, the UAV comprising the receiver. 8. The system of claim 7, the UAV further comprising a transmitter, the transmitter positioned to transmit wirelessly through the launcher wall of the launcher, in a pre-launch state, one or more RF signals. 9. The system of claim 1, further comprising: a transmitter disposed within the launcher volume, the transmitter positioned to transmit wirelessly through the launcher wall of the launcher, in a pre-launch state, one or more RF signals. 10. The system of claim 1, further comprising: a launch propulsion unit;wherein the launch propulsion unit is disposed within the launcher volume, the launch propulsion unit comprising the receiver. 11. The system of claim 1, further comprising: one or more gas generating canisters;wherein gas generated by the one or more gas generating canisters during a launch of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) disposed within the launcher volume is retained within the launcher volume after the launch of the UAV. 12. The system of claim 1, further comprising: a membrane seal disposed over an open end of the launcher. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the membrane seal is a frangible film preventing outside elements from entering the launcher volume prior to launch. 14. The system of claim 12, further comprising: a cap disposed over the membrane seal. 15. An article comprising: a launcher having a launcher volume defined by a continuous launcher wall, the launcher wall having radio-frequency (RF) permeability;a receiver disposed within the launcher volume, the receiver receiving wireless communication via one or more RF signals received wirelessly through the launcher wall;a transmitter disposed within the launcher volume, the transmitter transmitting wireless communication via one or more RF signals transmitted wirelessly through the launcher wall; andan unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) disposed within the launcher volume. 16. The article of claim 15, the receiver further comprising an RF antenna disposed within the launcher volume. 17. The article of claim 15, wherein the receiver is in communication with an external communications node, in a pre-launch state, to wirelessly receive one or more RF signals from the external communications node. 18. The article of claim 17, wherein the one or more RF signals are selected from the group consisting of: a reconnaissance waypoint information, a surveillance optimizing trajectory information, a target data, and a flight plan information. 19. The article of claim 15, wherein the transmitter is in communication with an external communications node, in a pre-launch state, to wirelessly transmit one or more RF signals selected from the group consisting of: a status of the UAV and a status of the launcher. 20. The article of claim 15, the launcher further comprising: a membrane seal disposed over an open end of the launcher preventing outside elements from entering the launcher volume prior to launch.
