The purpose of this paper is to review current and future tube launch UAV class "micro» (μ), and outline their applications and directions of scientific and technical search. Methodology. The paper used available scientific and technical literature and data producers. An overview of common UAVs different wind patterns and are their main characteristics.The main features of tube launch UAV: aerodynamic scheme "aircraft"; way transportation and launch - an airtight container with a catapult arranged; target load - digital or video camera; way of landing - parachute mode control - automatic or semiautomatic. Results of work. The main characteristics of tube launch UAV. The analysis of tactical and technical characteristics of existing designs. The need for further research in this direction. Analyzed aerodynamic scheme "tandem" and justified its use. A brief analysis of the characteristics of the prototype "Sokil-2" and outlines directions for further research. Formulated critical scientific and technical issues potrubuyut solution: start, landing system, control system. Field of application. Analytical review can be used in the formation requirements and the general outlines tube launch UAV.References
