A system, comprising: an unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV,; and a latching mechanism, wherein the latching mechanism comprises: a first latch configured to attach to a door of the UAV; a second latch configured to attach to a portion of the UAV distal from the first latch; a string connected between the first latch and the second latch, wherein the string secures the door of the UAV shut; at least two radio modules (124A,B) in communication with a ground control station; and at least two burn wires (122A,B) in contact with a portion of the string between the first latch and the second latch; wherein at least one of the at least two radio modules (124A,B) are configured to receive a burn signal from the ground control station, wherein current from a backup battery passes to at least one burn wire of the at least two burn wires (122A,B) based on receiving the burn signal, wherein the burn wire melts a portion of the string causing the connection between the first latch and the second latch to be broken, and wherein the door of the UAV is separated from the UAV when the connection between the first latch and the second latch is broken. an unmanned aerial vehicle, UAV,; and a latching mechanism, wherein the latching mechanism comprises: a first latch configured to attach to a door of the UAV; a second latch configured to attach to a portion of the UAV distal from the first latch; a string connected between the first latch and the second latch, wherein the string secures the door of the UAV shut; at least two radio modules (124A,B) in communication with a ground control station; and at least two burn wires (122A,B) in contact with a portion of the string between the first latch and the second latch; wherein at least one of the at least two radio modules (124A,B) are configured to receive a burn signal from the ground control station, wherein current from a backup battery passes to at least one burn wire of the at least two burn wires (122A,B) based on receiving the burn signal, wherein the burn wire melts a portion of the string causing the connection between the first latch and the second latch to be broken, and wherein the door of the UAV is separated from the UAV when the connection between the first latch and the second latch is broken. a first latch configured to attach to a door of the UAV; a second latch configured to attach to a portion of the UAV distal from the first latch; a string connected between the first latch and the second latch, wherein the string secures the door of the UAV shut; at least two radio modules (124A,B) in communication with a ground control station; and at least two burn wires (122A,B) in contact with a portion of the string between the first latch and the second latch; wherein at least one of the at least two radio modules (124A,B) are configured to receive a burn signal from the ground control station, wherein current from a backup battery passes to at least one burn wire of the at least two burn wires (122A,B) based on receiving the burn signal, wherein the burn wire melts a portion of the string causing the connection between the first latch and the second latch to be broken, and wherein the door of the UAV is separated from the UAV when the connection between the first latch and the second latch is broken.
