We consider the problem of safely coordinating ensembles of identical autonomous agents to conduct complex missions with conflicting safety requirements and under noisy control inputs. Using non-smooth control barrier functions (CBFs) and stochastic model-predictive control as springboards, and by adopting an extrinsic approach where the ensemble is treated as a unified dynamic entity, we devise a method to synthesize safety-aware control inputs for uncertain collectives. Drawing upon stochastic CBF theory and recent developments in Boolean CBF composition, our method proceeds by smoothing a Boolean-composed CBF and solving a stochastic optimization problem where each agent's forcing term is restricted to the affine subspace of control inputs certified by the combined CBF. For the smoothing step, we employ a polynomial approximation scheme, providing evidence for its advantage in generating more conservative yet sufficiently-filtered control inputs than the smoother but more aggressive equivalents produced from an approximation technique based on the log-sum-exp function. To further demonstrate the utility of the proposed method, we present an upper bound for the expected CBF approximation error, along with results from simulations of a single-integrator collective under velocity perturbations. Lastly, we compare these results with those obtained using a naive state-feedback controller lacking safety filters.

Path Loss ( $PL$ ) is vital to evaluate the performance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) as Aerial Base Stations (ABSs), particularly in urban environments with complex propagation due to various obstacles. Accurately modeling $PL$ requires a generalized Probability of Line-of-Sight $(P_{LoS})$ that can consider multiple obstructions. While the existing $P_{LoS}$ models mostly assume a simplified Manhattan grid with uniform building sizes and spacing, they overlook the real-world variability in building dimensions. Furthermore, such models do not consider other obstacles, such as trees and streetlights, which may also impact the performance, especially in millimeter-wave (mmWave) bands. This paper introduces a Manhattan Random Simulator (MRS) to estimate $P_{LoS}$ for UAV-based communications in urban areas by incorporating irregular building shapes, non-uniform spacing, and additional random obstacles to create a more realistic environment. Lastly, we present the PL differences with and without obstacles for standard urban environments and derive the empirical PL for these environments.
