Launch and recovery from Air Sea Rescue Boats /63' AVR

TDD-1, Shock Cord Launcher

Reginald Denny notes: "A very short catapult was used buy the US Navy for launching from 63' AVR boats. These boats could achieve speeds up to almost forty miles per hour. So, running into the wind at this speed required only moderate catapult assist.

Drones were usually retrieved from the ocean by another AVR or sometimes smaller pick up boats. Catapult launch and parachute landing systems made the use of these drones practical because no large smooth area was necessary for operation.
