Apparatus and methods are provided for generating real-time measured latency data. A message is generated with a time stamp. The time stamp indicates a time the message was sent. The time the message was sent is determined based on a reference-clock source, such as a Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite. A time that the message was received is determined using the reference-clock source. The real-time measured latency data is determined based on the time stamp and the time the message was received. If user data is present in the message, the user data is determined by removing the time stamp from the message. The time stamp and the time the message was received may be generated using a latency-measuring device that is configured to communicate with the reference-clock source. The latency-measuring device may be aboard an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) or an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV).
