In several embodiments, the controller is configured to receive data associated with a data collection point located within the field and control the operation of the UAV such that the UAV is flown over the field and lands in the field at the data collection point. The sensing device, in several embodiments, is configured to capture field condition data associated with the field while the UAV is maintained in a landed condition at the data collection point.
