An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) uses a first baseband processor to establish a first communication link with a ground station of a wireless network and a second baseband processor that establishes a second communication link with a user device. The second baseband processor for processing a radio transmission from a user equipment. The second baseband processor is communicatively coupled to the first baseband processor such that the radio transmission is communicated to the ground station via the first communication link. Flight-control hardware steers the UAV along a flight trajectory that is determined by a ground-based UAV controller based at least on the radio transmission, such that the UAV or the ground station can locate or track the user equipment.
