Maritime UAV path planning is a key link in realizing the intelligence of maritime emergency transportation, providing support for fast and flexible accident disposal material supply. However, most current methods are designed land environments lack ability to cope with complex marine environments. In order achieve effective environments, this paper proposes Directional Drive-Rotation Invariant Quadratic Interpolation White Shark Optimization algorithm (DD-RQIWSO). First, directional guidance speed realized through update strategy based on fitness value ordering, which improves individuals approaching optimal solution. Second, rotation-invariant mechanism hyperspheres added overcome tracking pause phenomenon WSO. addition, quadratic interpolation enhance utilization local information by algorithm. Then, wind simulation environment Lamb–Oseen vortex model was constructed better simulate real scenario. Finally, DD-RQIWSO subjected series tests 2D 3D scenarios, respectively. The results show that able realize under more accurately stably.

With the explosive growth of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications in numerous fields, low-altitude networks face formidable challenges monitoring. In this context, integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) through three-dimensional (3D) wide-area have emerged as key solution. However, differences networking mechanisms between sensing, along with transition from two-dimensional (2D) to 3D networking, complicate realization seamless sensing. We aimed address these by analyzing capabilities a single base station disparities Based on this, an innovative model for ISAC stations was proposed, defining boundaries providing foundation designing parameters stations. Additionally, multi-base (multi-BS) networked cellular-like architecture overcoming limitations traditional 2D achieving To validate effectiveness model, comprehensive tests were conducted both controlled laboratory conditions real-world commercial network environments. The results show that successfully achieved stable continuous expected coverage accuracy
