Summary Routing remains the most important problem to be explored, for discovering an ideal pathway in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Several problems for identifying and targeting location continue giving the immense motility of UAVs. In routing planning, optimum decisions have to be taken for several vital operations for solving the issues in UAVs. Many types of routing techniques of UAVs, which have been used for many years, have been analyzed in this paper. Routing techniques aim to provide striking‐free surroundings to the UAVs and not only to find an optimum path but also the smallest path. Routing techniques play a vital part in the development of a secured way in a minimal time to reach the ultimate destination and hence much needed. There are various routing techniques, real‐time applications of UAVs which are elaborated in this paper, namely, representative, cooperative, and noncooperative techniques. In UAV, collision avoidance is very important for the obstacle‐free environment. Collision avoidance techniques are discussed for a safe environment of UAV. Further, the UAVs network communication coverage and connectivity by these techniques are discussed. Finally, we discuss the security and connectivity and future directions in UAV.
