Summary:A system for deploying and retrieving an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV (200)) with a UAV carrier (300) including a UAV bay, where the system includes a UAV pad (600) including a UAV pad base and a UAV pad coupler (610) to couple the UAV (200) to the UAV pad base (600); a mechanical arm (400) including a first end configured to couple to the UAV carrier (300), and a second end configured to couple to the UAV pad (600); and a controller configured to determine a deployment position for the UAV pad (600), determine a retrieval position for the UAV pad (600), control the UAV pad (600), and control the mechanical arm (400).
