A method, system and computer readable medium for projectile launched UAV reconnaissance/surveillance are described. The method can include determining a designated target. The method can also include estimating a distance and trajectory from a launch point to the target and communicating distance and trajectory information to a launcher, a projectile and a communication and control system. The method can also include firing a separation charge when the UAV projectile reaches a predetermined point along the flight path, the separation charge being configured to separate a UAV from a projectile casing. The method can further include deploying the UAV and activating a propulsion system of the UAV and obtaining signals via one or more sensors.
