contents The employment of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) aligned with multistatic sensing in integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) systems can provide remarkable performance gains in sensing, by taking advantage of the cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) architecture. Under these considerations, in this paper, the achievable sensing signal-to-noise-plus-interference ratio (SINR) of a cell-free mMIMO ISAC UAV-based network is evaluated for two different deployments of UAVs, namely, mobile and tethered. In both scenarios, a transmit precoder that jointly optimizes the sensing and communication requirements subjected to power constraints is designed. Specifically, for the scenario with mobile UAVs, beyond the transmit precoding, we also optimize the position of the transmit UAVs through particle swarm optimization (PSO). The results show that, although tethered UAVs have a more efficient power allocation, the proposed position control algorithm for the mobile UAVs can achieve a superior gain in terms of sensing SINR.
