System and method for newsgathering with an autonomous aerial vehicle

An autonomous aerial vehicle equipped to capture high quality video of news is integrated with bonded cellular and blended wireless capabilities and with automated battery replacement stations. This system, and the method for using it, enable individual journalists to transport the autonomous aerial vehicle to the site of breaking news or another newsworthy scene, launch the vehicle in a matter of minutes, and begin capturing video which is streamed through the wireless parts of the system to traditional broadcast channels, such as over-the-air television or to Internet-based streaming channels. The system and method aggregate the bandwidth of multiple cellular, microwave, and satellite channels to accommodate the bitrate of the video signal from the aerial camera. Automated battery replacement stations enable the autonomous aerial vehicles at least one autonomous aerial vehicle to remain in the air at all times, thus avoiding interruptions necessitated by battery exhaustion in the vehicles.
