This disclosure describes a ground station configured to facilitate the delivery of payloads using unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). The ground station includes multiple sensors that allow for autonomous operation of the ground station as part of a larger payload transportation system. The sensors are configured to confirm loading of payloads onto a UAV, checking a status and safety of the drone and clearing an area surrounding the ground station prior to takeoff and/or landing operations of the UAV.
