Using battery monitoring and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) management, a method and system provide persistent airborne surveillance for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems supported by UAVs within an airborne surveillance pattern (ASP). In one embodiment, a UAV operating in the ASP with degraded battery charge is autonomously swapped with a UAV having a fully-charged battery to provide persistent aerial surveillance for an extended duration over that of a single UAV.
