Abstract
A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving an indication of presence of an aircraft in a vicinity of an uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) which is flying along a flight path. The method also includes decelerating, based on the received indication, the UAV to reduce a ground speed along the flight path. The method additionally includes descending, after reducing the ground speed, the UAV to a hover position. The method further includes determining, while the UAV is in the hover position, whether to resume the flight path or to land the UAV based on a determination of continued presence of the aircraft in the vicinity of the UAV. The method also includes controlling the UAV based on the determination of whether to resume the flight path or to land the UAV.
