1. A server comprising:
- a processor; and
a memory coupled with the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to effectuate operations comprising;
receiving a request for a communication profile of a geographic area;
determining an unmanned vehicle with specifications to complete the request;
providing instructions to the unmanned vehicle, the instructions comprise generate an interference for testing the effect of the interference at a position associated with the geographic area;
based on the instructions, receiving information associated with the generated interference at the position; and
determining the communication profile of the geographic area based on the information.

Abstract
The use of semi-autonomous vehicles (e.g., unmanned aerial vehicles) as a means to profile an airspace for prospective service, determine the characteristics of a radio-based problem, and temporarily host a service in response to emergency, unexpected outages, or other things are discussed herein. Functionalities of the solution may include probing and profiling, line-of-sight verification, and problem determination.
