Drone Docking Stations | Drone Ports, Landing Pads & Hangers
Drone docking stations and drone ports allow UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) to take off and land, and also provide a recharging capability for the aircraft. They are typically
A 24/7 rapid-refueling drone docking station equipped with an advanced robotic battery-swapping system for uninterrupted autonomous operation. Atlas 300 holds 8 batteries for 2000+ cycles with under 5 minutes of downtime. Built for industrial use, it's compact, low-impact, and transport-ready with Hextronics' rotor folding design.
They are typically designed for battery-powered multirotor and eVTOL drones, as pure fixed-wing platforms require runway space to land. Some drone docking stations also provide an enclosure that stores the drone and protects it from rain, theft and damage. These enclosures may also be used to store packages for delivery drone services.
Fast forward to 2022, DJI entered the world of drone docking stations with the DJI Dock, providing a much-needed boost to drone autonomy. This innovation has the potential to make docking stations a de facto accessory for drones, similar to how cameras became a standard payload just a few years ago.
