Abstract: A system and method provide remote tracking of progress at construction sites. When possible, the progress can be monitored remotely via satellite imagery. But once satellite imagery cannot determine the progress that needs to be monitored at the construction site, multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that use RF emitters and receivers are deployed to the construction site to determine progress based on RF scans. A number and type of UAVs, along with their respective flight plans, are determined from site specifications and expected progress at the construction site. The UAVs are programmed with their respective flight plans, synchronized, then deployed to inspect the construction site using RF scans. The UAVs execute their respective flight plans, with some emitting RF signals and others receiving those emitted RF signals. The UAV RF data is then analyzed and compared to the site specifications to determine the progress at the construction site.
