The Skylotec Nano Launcher delivers non-pyrotechnic line and ladder deployment for covert urban entry, maritime boarding, and high-angle tactical rescue.
Powered by compressed atmospheric air, this lightweight launcher propels titanium grapnels, mission lines, and ladders with exceptional accuracy, minimal noise, and very low recoil.
Tactical Design & Handling
- Rapid Modular Assembly: Assemble the barrel, handle, and canister in under 60 seconds without tools.
- Adverse Condition Readiness: Operate all critical controls smoothly while wearing thick tactical gloves in wet, dark, or freezing environments.
- Pneumatic Stealth Propulsion: Compressed air eliminates pyrotechnic flash, excessive noise, and dangerous recoil forces during discharge.
- Reversible Side Canister: Mount the rope canister directly onto either the left or right side of the launcher body to match operator preference.
- Two-Stage Safe Arming: Bayonet bottle mount locks securely into Position 1 for safe transit and only charges the firing chamber when twisted to Position 2.
- Rapid Abort Dump Valve: Vent pressure instantly via the spring-loaded right-side dump valve if an operation is aborted.
Projectile & Payload Capabilities
- Folding Titanium Grapnel: Three spring-loaded titanium arms fold flat inside the barrel and snap open automatically after launch.
- Sound-Dampened Impact Cone: A durable rubber nose cone absorbs impact shock and reduces acoustic signature upon landing.
- Anti-Twist Flight Swivel: An integrated swivel prevents line twisting, ensuring clean rope payout from the canister.
- Universal Rigging Anchor: A rear mounting pin and locking collar accept certified sewn eye terminations or stopper knots.
- Ladder Deployment: Accepts flexible ladders (such as Fibrelight systems) using an optional ladder canister configuration.
