The unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) includes detachable motor arms. In this way, the UAV may be conveniently stored and transported, rapidly assembled in the field, and repaired in the event of a crash. The motor arms are also configured to separate from the fuselage in the event of a crash. An example unmanned aerial vehicle comprises: a fuselage and two motor arms. Each motor arm is detachably secured to the fuselage by two mechanical connectors and comprises a tube having a rotary wing propulsion system on each end and an electrical connector, positioned between the two rotary wing propulsion systems, configured to conductively interface with an electrical connector in an underside of the fuselage. The two mechanical connectors detachably securing each motor arm to the fuselage are configured to facilitate the separation of that motor arm from the fuselage during a crash.

Unmanned aerial vehicle provided with detachable motor arms

A system is provided comprising a control station for remotely controlling unmanned aerial vehicles ('UAV'). The control station is configured to display vehicle status data received from each UAV, including displaying a location of each UAV in a single interface. Through the single interface, the control station may receive a control command input associated with one of the UAVs. The control station may transmit the received control command, or a command derived therefrom, to the respective UAV. The single interface may provide for a user to view and control flight operation of each of the UAVs independently through the single interface.
