The present disclosure is directed toward systems and methods for swapping a battery assembly between an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) and an unmanned aerial vehicle ground station (UAVGS). In particular, systems and methods described herein enable a battery swapping assembly to remove a battery assembly from within the UAV and store the battery assembly within a plurality of battery banks that are linearly arranged within the UAVGS. For example, the battery arm can move along an axis of movement relative to the battery banks to conveniently transfer one or more battery assemblies between the UAV and the battery banks within the UAVGS.
