Claim 0:
1. A system for conducting inspections on an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the system comprising:
a UAV deployment vehicle;
an inspection station coupled to the UAV deployment vehicle comprising a first position indicating sensor configured to collect first position data comprising at least one of global positioning system coordinates or cellular triangulation coordinates of the UAV deployment vehicle; and
a computer processing component communicatively coupled to the inspection station, wherein the computer processing component is configured to:
receive the first position data from the first position indicating sensor;
receive second position data from a second position indicating sensor affixed to the UAV, wherein the second position data comprises at least one of global positioning system coordinates or cellular triangulation coordinates of the UAV, and the second position data is collected while the UAV is maintained in the inspection station;
determine a discrepancy exists between the first position data and the second position data; and
responsive to determining the discrepancy exists, provide correction information to the UAV, wherein the UAV uses the correction information to calibrate the second position indicating sensor.
