    Abstract: A base station is disclosed for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The base station includes: an enclosure; a slide mechanism that is connected to the enclosure and which is repositionable between a retracted position and an extended position; and a cradle that is connected to the slide mechanism and which defines a chamber that is configured to receive the UAV such that the UAV is movable into and out of the enclosure during repositioning of the slide mechanism between the retracted position and the extended position. The cradle includes: an upper shell; a lower shell that is connected to the upper shell; and at least one thermal insulator that is located between the upper shell and the lower shell.

    Abstract: A base station for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is disclosed that includes: an enclosure defining an internal cavity that is configured to receive the UAV; a door that is movably connected to the enclosure; actuators that extend between the door and the enclosure to facilitate opening and closure of the door; a cradle that is configured to receive the UAV and which is movable in relation to the enclosure such that the cradle is repositionable between a retracted position and an extended position to facilitate movement of the UAV into and out of the enclosure; and engagement members that are secured to the actuators and which are configured for contact with propeller assemblies on the UAV to facilitate folding of the propeller assemblies during movement of the UAV into the enclosure.
