A device and a method for introducing a drone (3) to an area of interest (10) are presented. The drone delivery system (1) may include a housing (2), a drone (3), either a timer (4) or a receiver (49), a lock mechanism (8), and a biasing mechanism (48). The housing (2) further includes a pair of parts (6) with or without subparts (13). At least one sensor (7) is attached to the drone (3). The timer (4) or the receiver (49) is secured to the housing (2) and communicable with the lock mechanism (8) to control function thereof. The lock mechanism (8) is adapted to releasably secure the parts (6) or the subparts (13). The drone (3) is enclosed within the housing (2) in a CLOSED configuration (9) when the lock mechanism (8) is locked. The biasing mechanism (48) separates the parts (6) or the subparts (13) to an OPEN configuration (11) when the lock mechanism (8) is unlocked so that the drone (3) is not surrounded by the housing (2). The drone (3) is introducible to the area of interest (10) in the CLOSED configuration (9) and separable from the housing (2) in the OPEN configuration (11).
