A remotely-operated storage and deployment system for a robotic vehicle includes a frame structure, a carrier, a lifting device, and a motor. The carrier includes a ramp moveable from a closed position in which a robotic vehicle can be enclosed in the carrier and an open position in which a robotic vehicle can drive into or out of the carrier. The lifting device is connected to the carrier and to the frame structure for moving a portion of the carrier between a raised position in which the portion of the carrier is raised relative to a ground surface and the ramp is in the closed position, and a lowered position in which the portion of the carrier is lowered relative to the ground surface and the ramp is in the open position. The motor is connected to the lifting device for allowing remote operation of the carrier.
