A method to navigate an unmanned aerial vehicle UAV (100) comprises the steps of controlling a flight path of the UAV (100) by a remote operator (5), obtaining a recognized air picture of an observation space surrounding the UAV (100), including tracking information with respect to aerial vehicles (10, 20, 30, 40) within the observation space, assigning one of a plurality of threat levels to each of the aerial vehicles (10, 20, 30, 40), the threat levels comprising a resolution advisory level and an automatic avoidance level and continuously automatically determining viable avoidance trajectories for the UAV (100). If at least one of the aerial vehicles (10, 20, 30, 40) is assigned the resolution advisory level, a message is provided to the remote operator (5) including a first proposed viable avoidance trajectory. If at least one of the aerial vehicles (10, 20, 30, 40) is assigned the automatic avoidance level, control signals are provided to an on-board flight controller (160) of the UAV (100) instructing the vehicle to follow a flight path corresponding to a second proposed viable avoidance trajectory.
