A collapsible, rapidly-deployable unmanned aerial vehicle includes a cylindrical structural body, a plurality of deployable mechanisms, a control unit, and a portable power source. The cylindrical structural body is dimensioned to be stored in a small space and deployed rapidly. The plurality of deployable mechanisms includes a lift-generating device for generating an upward thrust that allows the unmanned aerial vehicle to fly. Further, the plurality of deployable mechanisms can collapse to reduce the overall footprint of the cylindrical structural body, thereby allowing the unmanned aerial vehicle to be stored in a confined area. The control unit is integrated into the cylindrical structural body, whereby the control unit controls the flight of the present invention. The portable power source provides electrical energy to the electrically operated components of the unmanned aerial vehicle such as the plurality of deployable mechanisms and the control unit.
