摘要：
Implementations of UAV wildlife monitoring system may include a ground control station wirelessly coupled to a UAV which may include a flight controller, a first radio, a second radio, a first antenna, a second antenna, a very high frequency (VHF) radio receiver, and a computer, all operatively coupled together. The monitoring system may also include a VHF tag configured to be coupled to an animal, wherein when the VHF tag is coupled to the animal, the VHF radio receiver receives a VHF radio signal from the VHF tag using the first antenna, wherein the computer process the VHF radio signal to create the location data from the VHF radio signal, processes the location data, and sends the location data to the second radio, wherein the second radio transmits the location data into a telecommunications channel, and wherein the ground control station receives the location data from the telecommunications channel.
