Sets of drones are deployed to create an ad-hoc 5G network in a physical environment to collect sensor data and generate a map of the physical environment in real time. Master drones configured with 5G capabilities are deployed to the physical area to create the 5G ad-hoc network, and swarm drones configured with sensors are deployed to gather environmental data on the physical environment. The gathered data is transmitted to the master drones to generate a map. The deployable 5G network is leveraged to identify precise locations for the swarm drones and each instance of sensor data collected by the swarm drones in order to create an accurate and detailed map of the environment. The map can include information regarding the structural layout of the space and environmental characteristics, such as temperature, the presence of smoke or other gases, etc.
