A UAV-carried surveillance and remote sensing platform is launched from a high altitude and flies over a target area, collecting remote sensing imagery before returning to earth. The UAV may be towed to a desired altitude by a powered aircraft or a balloon and then launched for cruising over a target area while capturing data. Instead of being piloted remotely, the UAV employs an autonomous flight control system.
