A system for tracking an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with a directional antenna can include a tracking module which is configured to be secured relative to a UAV, and which can be configured to operate independently of the UAV. The tracking module may include a processor, a power source, a GPS module, and a transmitter, and may transmit geolocation information of the UAV to a base station. The transmission of geolocation information may occur over a LoRa radio link. The base station may include a processor, a GPS module, a receiver, and one or more movable directional antennas. The orientation of the movable directional antenna may be changed to track the location of the UAV, based on the geolocation information of the UAV and the base station. The directional antennas may replace the antennas of a UAV controller associated with the UAV to increase the operational range of the UAV.
