In recent days, the Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) is an emerging technology rapidly across many warfare’s and enable new civilian domains which include real-time monitoring, security, border surveillance, wildlife surveys, providing wireless coverage, weather monitoring, smart farming, surveying, search and rescue, products delivery, farming, and civil structure inspection. Initially, there were many challenges in the design and control of UAS as it lacks an onboard pilot for navigation. Now the condition is improved with the implementation of artificial intelligence techniques in path planning and their coordination. Unmanned Aerial vehicles (UAV) in UAS technology open up new potentials in a variety of fields. This paper presents a review of recent literature, starting with the introduction about the UAS and its types, components, developments, potential applications of UAV in search and rescue and the paper completes with a summary of the different path planning methods used in UAS.
