One major issue currently preventing the adoption of autonomous unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) is the lack of airspace management to prevent the UAVs from colliding with each other, with human-piloted planes or helicopters, with static objects such as buildings, and with dynamic flying objects such as flocks of birds. In this work, we present a novel airspace management approach to autonomous UAVs. Our airspace management system allows UAVs to dynamically and autonomously choose between three modes of operation: (i) centralized, (ii) cooperative decentralized, (iii) noncooperative decentralized.
