Abstract

Due to their high maneuverability, flexible deployment, and low cost, uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) are expected to play a pivotal role in not only communication but also sensing. Especially by exploiting the ultrawide bandwidth of terahertz (THz) bands, integrated sensing and communication (ISAC)-empowered UAVs have been a promising technology of 6G space–air–ground integrated networks. In this article, we systematically investigate the key techniques and essential obstacles for THz-ISAC-empowered UAVs from a transceiver design perspective, with the highlight of its major challenges and key technologies. Specifically, we discuss the THz-ISAC-UAV wireless propagation environment, based on which several…
