 The Canadian Centre for Unmanned Vehicle Systems (CCUVS) has announced that it will be deploying the Robonic MC2555LLR Unmanned Air Systems (UAS) Launcher on its first operational mission since acquiring the launcher earlier this year.

The Robonic MC2555LLR launcher will be transported to Victoria, British Columbia on 28 April 2009 where it will be used to support the Canadian Navy during exercise "Trident Fury" at the beginning of May 2009.

CCUVS is working closely with Meggitt Training Systems Canada (MTSC) who is the prime for providing the targets and control systems that the Navy will use for ship defence training.

CCUVS is one of many key players in this exercise through the provision of launching services for MTSC.

The Robonic MC2555LLR Launcher is designed and built by Robonic Inc. in Tampere, Finland.

It is a highly sophisticated launcher that operates using compressed air and a pulley system that is capable of launching a variety of different UAS's weighing up to 250Kg and acceleration values of up to 55 metres per second.

The MC2555LLR is completely independent and self contained, therefore it is well suited to operate in a wide variety of terrains and environments.
