Abstract
A docking system is disclosed for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The docking system includes a base station that is configured to receive the UAV and a pedestal that is configured to support the base station in an elevated position. The pedestal defines an interior space that is configured in correspondence with an outer contour of the base station such that the base station is positionable within the pedestal to protect the base station during nonuse.
