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 is disclosed for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) that includes: an enclosure defining a window that is configured to receive the UAV to allow for entry of the UAV into the base station and exit of the UAV from the base station; a door that is movably connected to the enclosure such that the door is repositionable between a closed position and an open position; a sealing member that extends about the window and which is configured for engagement with the door so as to form a seal therewith in the closed position; and a heating system that is supported by the enclosure and which is configured to heat the door and/or the sealing member to support operation (e.g., opening and closure) of the door in a cold environment, wherein the heating system includes at least one light source and at least one heating element.
