Integrating Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Airspace: A Systematic Review

Abstract

In this article, a comprehensive review of the integration of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) into shared airspace is presented. By applying a systematic review methodology, the study clarifies the main challenges, problems, and possible fixes related to safety, coordination, and regulatory frameworks. The results demonstrate the critical role that several elements play in supporting the safety of UAV integration. These elements include multi-layered airspace models, careful path planning, secure communication networks, Conflict Detection and Resolution (CDR) strategies, and strong regulations. The paper explores the potential of Human-in-the-loop Reinforcement Learning (HRL) and Reinforcement Learning (RL) algorithms to train UAVs for maneuvering through complex terrain and adapting to changing circumstances. The study's conclusions highlight the importance of ongoing research projects, stakeholder cooperation and continuous support for technology developments-all of which are necessary to ensure the safe and orderly integration of UAVs into airspace.
