    Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) have proven indispensable in various applications, from surveillance to environmental monitoring. UAV deployment efficiency is critical for fast reaction and better mission capabilities. This project offers a Elastic Driven UAV Launcher, which is intended to provide a reliable and fast launch mechanism for UAVs in a variety of settings. To push UAVs into the air, the launcher uses a Elastic-based technology, eliminating the need for standard propulsion techniques such as gas or electric motors. This breakthrough promises to minimize launch complexity, and operating costs. The system’s architecture has an elastic mechanism capable of effectively storing and releasing energy. The launcher may be adapted to different UAV sizes with weights up to 10kg, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of UAV types. Different launch tests for load of 2.6kg and 10 degrees launching angle resulted in launch speed of 6.25m/s and error of 65.8% using 3 elastic bands whereas launch speed of 3.23 m/s and error of 46.8% using 2 elastic bands respectively.
