Once you decide the size (of what needs launching), there are good data sheets to download here: http://www.epicos.com/EPCompanyProfileWeb/Products.aspx?id=669 "a complete product range for various UAV types (from 10 to 500 kg). The designed maximum launching power is 8,500 kW accordingly" - some of them have been performance tested by DERA in the Hebrides Hi Scorer,

Apart from the tracked stuff, fork lifts, bulldozers & specialty logistics, very small stuff (bikes ,quads etc) i make that roughly 12 different vehicles in the light to medium weight range. That's if you count the land rovers as one type & without inc. Coyote, Jackel & Fuchs. We are crazy aren't we, just plain nuts. Just thinking about the logistics train to supply the spare parts for all this different equipment is making my head hurt. Then i remember that this is just to keep the logistics train going so it can fulfill it's role of being the logistic's train/people mover for the Army itself. Sorry this is more an observation, but, they really are crazy. The costs of having such a varied fleet of vehicles, sorry forget that bit.......does the army have so many types of vehicles on purpose, as a hedge against the failure of a design in actual use, meaning in a war? Admin, thanks for this.
