Abstract
Computer-implemented methods for dynamic extension of a communications network. Aspects include monitoring, by a processor of an unmanned vehicle, a quality of a connection to the communications network while the unmanned vehicle is traveling along a path and deploying, by the unmanned vehicle while traveling along the path, an edge communications device each time the quality of the connection is below a threshold value. Aspects also include measuring, by the unmanned vehicle, environmental data along the path and collecting, by the unmanned vehicle, the edge communications devices as the unmanned vehicle retraces the path.
