Basically yes. The only problem is synchronising the data, but as they 
do this now it should be less of a problem in the future. The greater 
the spread of the drones the better the resolution. It's radio imaging 
so as I said before I don't know if commits and/or rouge planets could 
be found using this type of very long baseline radio telescope, but if 
they can then creating a cheap and easy structure with a high resolution 
wouldn't be a problem.

If you want to find out how they do it today check out E Merlin here:

it's basically the UK's VLBI radio telescope that matches the resolution 
of Hubble.
