A pneumatic launcher uses compressed gas or a light-gas propulsion system to accelerate a vehicle or payload through a launch tube. In Green Launch's applications, controlled gas pressure, release timing, payload weight, and tube design work together to produce high-speed, repeatable launches. This approach can support UAV deployment, test articles, and research payloads while reducing reliance on conventional rocket stages.
