TLDR
In this paper, the authors introduce the Nordic as well as generic challenges for UAV operations and discuss the needs for further research on the challenges affecting safe UAS operations, including weather-related phenomena challenges overlap in both technological and operational categories but can be mitigated differently.Abstract:
The European Union (EU) regulations regarding the unmanned aircraft system (UAS) that came into force in 2021 emphasise technological and operational safety. Those regulations have been developed on the common rules in the field of civil aviation and establishing a European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The implementation of the regulations and compliant UAS operator activities are still the ground of the future. Therefore, it is essential to systematically gather information about all the factors affecting UAS operations in a safe and meaningful manner. This book chapter introduces the Nordic as well as generic challenges for UAS operations. The challenges can be divided into two main categories: technological and operational. Based on the extensive literature review and authors’ practical experience, both types of challenges are grouped by relevance topics. For example, the weather-related phenomena challenges overlap in both technological and operational categories but still can be mitigated differently. Technological challenges are usually mitigated by UAS design and human-computer interactions, while operational challenges may be mitigated with legislation and organisational activities and personal UAS operator qualities. Finally, the needs for further research on the challenges affecting safe UAS operations are discussed.read more

Wireless Communication using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs): Optimal Transport Theory for Hover Time Optimization
TL;DR: A novel framework for optimizing the performance of flight-time constrained unmanned aerial vehicles as flying base stations that provide wireless service to ground users in terms of the average number of bits transmitted to users as well as the UAVs’ hover duration is proposed.
