Devices and methods are provided for determining a location independent of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal in autonomous vehicles, especially in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). An exemplary device includes one or more receivers or sensors configured to receive first information, wherein the one or more receivers or sensors is configured to obtain at least a subset of the first information from an external source, wherein at least a first of the one of the one or more receivers or sensors includes a transceiver configured to communicate with other UAVs in a first subset of UAVs. The exemplary device also includes one or more processors configured to share the first information with at least a one other UAV in the first subset, receive second information from the other UAV, and determine a path to the first location based on at least the second information.
