They are typically designed for battery-powered multirotor and eVTOL drones, as pure fixed-wing platforms require runway space to land. Some drone docking stations also provide an enclosure that stores the drone and protects it from rain, theft and damage. These enclosures may also be used to store packages for delivery drone services.
Drone ports may help enable a range of autonomous and BVLOS (beyond visual line of sight) missions, such as ISR (intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance), mapping, industrial inspection, and package delivery. UAV docking stations may include the facility to download flight logs and data from the drone's sensors and payloads.
UAV docking stations may include the facility to download flight logs and data from the drone's sensors and payloads. They may also include edge computing systems that can process this data, thus allowing operators to get results quickly in the field.
These enclosures may also be used to store packages for delivery drone services. Drone stations help mitigate the low flight endurance and long recharge times of battery-powered UAVs by automating the recharge process, which means that a human pilot is not required.
