description Achieving an exact localization is a complex and essential issue for autonomous aerial vehicles (AAVs) due to their three-directional high-speed mobility. Identifying the accurate flying position of AAVs for resource management and task reallocation is still challenging. In these scenarios, the position of the AAVs must be identifiable in a timely and precise manner. A bioinspired metaheuristic hybrid model was proposed to overcome the shortcomings of inaccurate altitude and improve the AAVs' flying positional coordinates. The proposed model incorporates the particle swarm optimization (PSO) with a fuzzy logic technique. PSO is used to find the optimal or near-optimal positions for the AAVs by minimizing localization error across a wide search space. Once the PSO has determined a feasible solution, fuzzy logic is applied for fine tuning the position based on real-time environmental factors (e.g., signal strength, sensor data, or global positioning system errors). This combination achieved both global efficiency (via PSO) and local precision (via fuzzy logic), ensuring robust localization even in noisy or dynamic conditions during AAVs flight operations. The model, compared to the state-of-the-art model, shows more accuracy in AAV localization with real-time operational data.
