A system for launching an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV), comprising: a capsule comprising at least two parts; a UAV configured to be encapsulated inside the capsule in a folded configuration; and an aerial carrier comprising a release mechanism, the carrier configured to carry the capsule; the carrier further configured to be launched and eject the capsule upon arrival at a desired aerial location, using the release mechanism; wherein prior to the ejection, the carrier is further configured to execute vertical maneuvers in order to reduce the carrier's speed and change the carrier's angle thereby creating suitable conditions for the capsule's ejection; the capsule configured to split and release the UAV upon being ejected; and the ejected UAV further configured to unfold upon release from the capsule.
