The present invention provides an airborne electromagnetic survey system having one or more autonomous vehicles comprising one or more active flight control members and housing at least one of a receiver, a transmitter, and other measuring device. The airborne electromagnetic survey system may include a controller that enables dynamic adjustment of the location and/or the orientation of the vehicle relative to other components of the EM system. The controller estimates, based on at least one of operational and environmental data of the survey during flight, the optimal location of said vehicle relative to other components of the EM system.
