Spatially Aware Covert and Jam-Resilience Terahertz Uncrewed Aerial Vehicle Communications

Terahertz (THz) band unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) links exploit ultra-wide spectra and high directivity to deliver multi-Gbps secure data for remote sensing and wireless backhaul, but their open three-dimensional flight paths increase vulnerability to covert detection and jamming. Altitude-dependent atmospheric loss, negligible in microwave or terrestrial THz studies, becomes critical in this band owing to triple selectivity, where propagation varies sharply with frequency, distance, and enviro
