Efficient communication infrastructure is essential for Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UASs) operating beyond visual line of sight (BVLOS). Both terrestrial and non-terrestrial networks struggle with coverage gaps and are susceptible to disruptions. This paper analyzes integrated terrestrial–non-terrestrial network (TN-NTN) architectures for UAS communications in 6G, focusing on three connectivity methods: terrestrial connectivity, indirect satellite connectivity, and direct UAS–satellite links. We provide the assessment of different connectivity options. Major challenges are discussed, including antenna limitations, reliability, channel modeling, and regulatory alignment.
