Abstract

Based on the theory of dimensions and similarity, a method is proposed for obtaining the criteria for the energy perfection of ground launch devices for launching unmanned aerial vehicles. The principle of rationing the appearance of ground launch devices using special similarity criteria is proposed. A criterion space has been built for assessing the energy perfection of pneumatic and pyrotechnic ground catapults depending on the mass of the launched aircraft. The principle of deterministic design decision-making in the formation of the appearance of ground catapults according to the tactical and technical characteristics of the launched unmanned vehicle is proposed.
