Urban Air Mobility requires navigation in dense environments where UAVs may operate near buildings, ground infrastructure, and other aerial vehicles. Maintaining situational awareness under these conditions is a core requirement for safe operation. Because no single sensor modality can provide robust perception across all environmental conditions, multi-sensor fusion is frequently adopted to mitigate individual sensor limitations.
