A mobile charging station for transporting and recharging multiple UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles), typically small UAVs, with the charging station, itself, being in the form of a carrier UAV. By transporting smaller passenger UAVs in, or on, the larger carrier UAV: (i) the smaller UAVs effectively have a longer range because they can be taken part, or even most, of the way to a target destination by riding in, or on, the larger carrier UAV; (ii) the passenger UAVs can have their electrical batteries re-charged; (ii) the passenger UAVs can have their batteries replaced; and/or (iv) the passenger UAVs can have their hydrogen fuel cells recharged with hydrogen (for examples, by replacement of the fuel cell or by pumping hydrogen into the existing fuel cell.
