Abstract: A delivery support system accommodates and supports the delivery of packages, parcels and other items via an unmanned aerial vehicle. The system includes components to appropriately position a landing platform at a position and orientation that is away from general traffic areas and thus minimizes the potential for interaction with, and injury to individuals what may be in the area. The system further includes handling accommodations to cause delivered items to be transferred to a location readily accessible by an individual or person. The platform further includes systems to communicate with the unmanned aerial vehicle to aid in the delivery operations, and to confirm appropriate delivery of items.
