Claim 6:
7. A landing and deployment system for an unmanned vehicle module, the system comprising:
a landing and deployment platform defining a landing region defining a code and a recessed area, the landing and deployment platform further comprising:
doors parallel to each other and configured to approach or move away from each other, and
first and second alignment mechanisms located on a moveable base section, the code and the recessed area located on the base section, the base section defining a resting seat in a fully rested state, the first and second alignment mechanisms configured to move an unmanned vehicle of the unmanned vehicle module vertically or horizontally to align with a pre-determined landing region and electrically connect an on-board charging mechanism or the unmanned vehicle to a power module of the system for charging of an on-board powering device of the unmanned vehicle;

an unmanned vehicle comprising:
a body;
a sensing device attached to the body, the sensing device being a camera, the code viewable by the camera;
on-board charging elements integrated into the body and configured to contact with a smart charging mechanism located on the system; and
rolling elements attached to the body, the rolling elements integrated into the body receivable into the recessed area of the landing region;
the on-board powering device electrically connected to the on-board charging elements;

a smart charging mechanism comprising:
a first charging mechanism located on the landing and deployment platform, the first charging mechanism allowing electrical contact to be made between the power module and the on-board charging elements of the unmanned vehicle via metallic contacts of the first and second alignment mechanisms; and
a second charging mechanism located on-board the unmanned vehicle, an electrical connection selectively available via the second charging mechanism between the on-board powering device of the unmanned vehicle and the first charging mechanism on the landing and deployment platform, the first charging mechanism and the second charging mechanism being connected to a power module with first and second polarity switches;
an integrated remote box station comprising:
a third polarity switch;
a standalone power module configured to provide electrical energy to the on-board powering device of the unmanned vehicle via the third polarity switch;
a security and sensing device comprising a camera providing a virtual-line-of-sight to the unmanned vehicle, the landing and deployment platform, and/or a remote user;
a weather station comprising a sensor configured to measure an environmental condition, the sensor being a wind direction sensor, a wind speed sensor, a temperature sensor, a rain sensor, a humidity sensor, a pressure sensor, a solar radiation measuring sensor, a disdrometer, a transmissometer, a UV light measuring sensor, a ceilometer, or a dew-point measuring sensor, the sensor being able to calibrate itself, the system configured to use one of wireless and wired communication to feed sensor data to the unmanned vehicle, the landing and deployment platform, and/or the remote user; the sensor having its own power module;
a communication/control module;
a weed/plant killer integrated with an insecticide/pesticide killer device;
an antenna; and
a source of renewable power;

a fence comprising a deterring mechanism;
a security device configured to notify an operator regarding a security breach;
a thermal management device configured to manage a temperature of the landing and deployment platform and/or the remote box station;
a cover covering the landing and deployment platform.
