A landing and docking system for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV), the system comprises two main parts, a docking unit configured to be attached to a UAV and a mating ground base platform. The docking unit has clamping arms that can swing outwardly by hinges that have a spring function, and a downwardly extending cone portion shaped to mate with a corresponding drogue shaped receptacle in the ground platform. The clamping arms comprise inwardly extending hook parts to hold the docking unit in place in the ground base platform. The system preferably comprises a sensor array in the cone, that comprises at least one but preferably at least two or more sensors such as optical lenses and/or other sensors. The system with sensor array thus provides a rugged and sturdy alternative to conventional camera carrying UAVs with gimbal mounted camera.
