A system for testing a radio transmitter includes multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). The multiple UAVs are deployed in the environment surrounding the radio transmitter, enabling simultaneous measurement of the signal emitted by the radio transmitter at multiple points in a variety of configurations. In some implementations, one of the UAVs can be configured as a control unit that facilitates communication between the radio transmitter and the remaining UAVs. In this manner, measurements can be transmitted from the UAVs to the transmitter in real-time. These measurements can then be used as feedback to quickly adjust the radio transmission or reception or to update the flight pattern of the UAVs.
