description An embodiment of the invention is directed to a system for controlling and managing a small unmanned air vehicle (UAV) between capture and launch of the UAV. The system includes an enclosure that provides environmental protection and isolation for multiple small UAVs in assembled and/or partially disassembled states. Control and management of the UAVs includes reorientation of a captured UAV from a landing platform and secure hand-off to the enclosure, decontamination, de-fueling, ingress to the enclosure, downloading of mission payload, UAV disassembly, stowage, retrieval and reassembly of the UAV, mission uploading, egress of the UAV from the enclosure, fueling, engine testing and launch readiness. An exemplary system includes two or more robots controlled by a multiple robot controller for autonomously carrying out the functions described above. A modular, compact, portable and autonomous system of UAV control and management is described. La présente invention concerne, dans l'un de ses modes de réalisation, un système de commande et de gestion d'un petit véhicule aérien sans pilote (UAV) après sa capture et avant son lancement. Le système comprend une enceinte qui protège et isole de l'environnement de multiples petits UAV montés et/ou partiellement démontés. La commande et la gestion des UAV comprend la réorientation d'un UAV capturé depuis une plate-forme d'atterrissage et le transfert sûr vers l'enceinte, la décontamination, la reprise de carburant, l'entrée dans l'enceinte, le téléchargement de la charge utile de mission, le démontage de l'UAV, l'arrimage, le dépistage et le remontage de l'UAV, le téléversement de la mission, la sortie de l'UAV de l'enceinte, l'avitaillement, l'essai de moteurs et l'aptitude au lancement. Un système exemplaire se compose de deux robots ou plus commandés par un dispositif de commande de multiples robots afin d'effectuer de manière autonome les fonctions susmentionnées. L'invention porte sur un système modulaire, compact, portable et autonome destiné à la commande et à la gestion d'UAV.
