In this paper, we present a design and first proof-of-concept test results of a distributed radio-localization system for tracking of moving targets with a swarm of drones. In particular, we develop and test a software framework that uses bistatic ranges to follow a target in-flight. We conduct full-system flight test with up to two drones in the air, three simulated drones, and a laptop equipped with a GPS module as the target. The system is shown to dynamically track the target as it moved, with both real and simulated drones following it in a specified formation.
