A method is disclosed. The method includes receiving data for one or more aircraft currently flying within an airspace. The received data for each of the one or more aircraft includes a current position and at least one aircraft parameter. Based on the current position and the at least one aircraft parameter, the method also includes determining an initial volume and a predicted future trajectory for each of the one or more aircraft. The method additionally includes determining, based on the predicted future trajectory and the initial volume, an extended volume for each of the one or more aircraft. The method further includes determining, based on the extended volume determined for each of the one or more aircraft, a composite extended volume space. The method includes planning a flight path for an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) through the airspace based on the composite extended volume space.
