EL10 electric launch system

The Corvus Launcher EL10 is an all-electric launch system purpose-built for heavy-payload missions and autonomous deployment at scale, offering stealth uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) launching at an accelerated rate.

The EL10 can launch heavy platforms up to 120kg at velocities up to 180km/h with a recovery time of just 15 seconds, all delivered from a compact, folding-frame design fitting within a standard 20ft shipping container.

“With the EL10, we’ve elevated UAV deployment capability – combining heavy payload capacity, stealthy launch performance, and rapid configurability in a mobile package,” says Nick Williams, CEO at Corvus Technology Solutions. “This is the kind of sovereign, high-performance system today’s defense operations demand. Our rapid development cycles – going from design to field-ready in months – are redefining expectations for defense-grade mechatronic systems and it’s a real shift in defense engineering norms. The EL10 exemplifies our commitment to moving at the speed of relevance to provide sovereign, agile solutions.”

Designed for high-frequency operations, the EL10 supports rapid, configurable launches with flexible launch angles for any fixed wing UAV. Built to be scalable with industry and military standard interfaces, it integrates with mission software and application programming interfaces (APIs), enabling streamlined deployment across diverse scenarios – from standalone use to embedded command systems.

Stealth, sovereign, and self-contained

Like the compact Corvus Launcher EL4, the EL10 is fully software-definable, autonomous, and silent – performing launch operations with negligible acoustic and thermal signatures, and independent of external power or infrastructure.

Fitting the swarm-ready era

The global drone market – valued at US$14.5 billion in 2022 and projected to surpass US$20 billion by 2027 – reflects growing institutional investment in what is fast becoming a game of numbers. The Corvus Launcher EL10’s high-capacity launch architecture enables rapid salvo or swarm deployments – underlining the system’s readiness for autonomous, multi-UAV missions. Its launch rate of more than 200 UAVs per hour unlocks faster operational concepts for larger, fixed wing UAVs typically requiring a runway or pneumatic launcher with markedly slower 10-minute to 15-minute recovery times.

The EL10 expands upon the foundational strengths of the Corvus Launcher platform – rapid launch, stealth, autonomous control, and multi-UAV compatibility – bringing this capability to a heavier, more capable class of UAVs. These systems empower operators to execute complex aerial deployments with minimal training and maximum reliability.
